Summary of Keynote Speeches from the 2024 Voice AI Symposium, presented by the Bridge2AI-Voice Consortium

Rupal Patel et al. Front Digit Health. .

Abstract

Introduction: The 2024 Voice AI Symposium, hosted by the Bridge2AI-Voice Consortium in Tampa, FL, featured two keynote speeches that addressed the intersection of voice AI, healthcare, ethics, and law. Dr. Rupal Patel and Dr. Nicholson Price provided insights into the advancements, applications, and challenges of AI-driven voice tools in healthcare. The symposium aimed to advance cross-disciplinary collaboration and establish frameworks for the ethical use of AI technologies in healthcare.

Methods: The keynote speeches, delivered on May 1st and 2nd, were 30 minutes each, followed by 10-minutes Q&A sessions. The audio was recorded and transcribed using Whisper (v7.13.1). Content summaries were generated with the aid of ChatGPT (v4.0), and the authors reviewed and edited the final transcripts to ensure accuracy and clarity.

Results: Dr. Rupal Patel's keynote, "Reflections and New Frontiers in Voice AI", explored the potential of voice AI for early detection of health conditions, monitoring disease progression, and promoting non-invasive global health management. She highlighted innovative uses beyond traditional applications, such as examining menopause-related symptoms. Dr. Nicholson Price's keynote, "Governance for Clinical Voice AI", addressed the regulatory and ethical challenges posed by AI in healthcare. He stressed the need for context-aware systems and dynamic legal frameworks to address liability and accountability.

Conclusions: The 2024 Voice AI Symposium highlighted the transformative potential of voice AI for early detection, health monitoring, and reducing healthcare disparities. It also underscored the importance of dynamic governance to address the ethical and regulatory challenges of deploying AI in clinical settings.

Keywords: Bridge2AI; Bridge2AI-Voice; artificial intelligence; audiomics; voice biomarkers.
