Jack Dorsey's Block launches Dessa; AI voice model trained entirely on 'human conversation'
Block has launched Dessa, an innovative AI voice model that engages in speech without using text. The model is capable of holding real-time conversations by recognising emotional cues such as laughter and sadness. Dessa operates by processing audio directly, avoiding the loss of tone that often occurs in text conversion. A small group of AI safety researchers will examine potential risks associated with the new model.
