Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #464
Hey there and welcome to the flash briefing for Tuesday. Today is podcast day with the AlexainCanada.ca brand. And, we’ve got a completely different type of podcast for you.
To access the podcast, let me tell you right off the bat, you just go to Alexaincanada.ca/79. This is the 79th episode or on any of your podcast players, your favorite podcast player.
Just search for that, “Alexa in Canada.” Today, it gives me great pleasure to welcome Brooke Hawkins onto the podcast. She is a very, very experienced, VUI designer.
VUI stands for Voice User Interface designer, and on top of that, she is one of the thought leaders currently on the issues surrounding voice ethics. So I’ll give you an example, what are voice ethics?
Well, say a voice assistant addresses you by your name, but you haven’t actually given your name to that voice device.
She is one of the thought leaders currently on the issues surrounding voice ethics.

How was that voice device obtaining your name? And, is that an ethical practice? There are so many questions that are evolving right now in this new industry, in this new space of voice technology, of voice first technology.
And we have a fascinating discussion on the podcast today with Brooke about some of these questions. So I encourage you to tune in. It’s a really, really interesting discussion.
And, I’m sure you’ll get a lot out of it. So just head over to AlexainCanada.ca/79 to be a part of this really cutting edge discussion. Alright, we’ll see you over there.
