AssemblyAI · x · 2026-08-01
An industry expert points out that voice AI agents often try to pass as human because users tend to hang up the moment they disclose their true nature. He believes this is an ethical question the industry is dodging and that it has to change.
Furthermore, he predicts that over the next 18 months, AI development will focus on making the technology work reliably and then figuring out honesty. He also forecasts the rise of on-device models, sovereign deployments, and voice being integrated as a core dimension across all applications, rather than just acting as a standalone screen you shout at.
