‘The power of AI is that it's able to capture everything, it’s
able to try to interpret everyone objectively. Human beings are
imperfect in terms of their capability to listen and understand.
Everyone unconsciously, when they listen, they don't hear
everything.’ Zoe Kleinman speaks to Sam Liang chief executive and
co-founder of artificial intelligence transcription start-up
Otter.ai Sam Liang was born in China and moved to the US in 1991.
He received a PhD from Stanford University before joining Google,
where he led the search engines location services. He co-founded
California based Otter.ai in 2016. The start-up has evolved from
a voice-to-text transcription service to offer AI-powered
recordings of live events, meeting summaries and content
searches. The Interview brings you conversations with people
