Breitbart Teleperformance SE, the world’s largest call center operator, is implementing an AI system designed to soften the accents of English-speaking Indian workers in real-time to enhance customer understanding and satisfaction. TechSport reports that new AI-powered voice technology, developed by Palo Alto-based startup Sanas, analyzes speech input and modifies it to match a specified accent while preserving the speaker’s original voice and emotion. The system employs advanced speech recognition algorithms to transcribe spoken words into text, accounting for various accents and speech patterns. It then applies AI models trained on datasets of various accents to modify the voice, adjusting intonation, stress patterns, and phoneme pronunciation to align with the target accent. Teleperformance Deputy Chief Executive Officer Thomas Mackenbrock explained the benefits of the technology, stating, “When you have an Indian agent on the line, sometimes it’s hard to hear, to understand. [This technology can] neutralize the accent of the Indian speaker with zero latency, [creates] more intimacy, increases the customer satisfaction, and reduces the average handling time.” READ THE FULL STORY

Washington Examiner DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence application, has raised concerns among lawmakers, with two members of the House of Representatives imploring governors to act as they attempt regulation at the federal level. Reps. Darin LaHood (R-IL) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), both members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, have proposed legislation banning DeepSeek on federal government devices. Now, they are taking their plea to governors. The two congressmen wrote to governors across the country imploring them to ban DeepSeek on government devices at the state level. “By using DeepSeek, users are unknowingly sharing highly sensitive, proprietary information with the [Chinese Communist Party] — such as contracts, documents, and financial records. In the wrong hands, this data is an enormous asset to the CCP, a known foreign adversary. The CCP has made it abundantly clear that it will exploit any tool at its disposal to undermine our national security, spew harmful disinformation, and collect data on Americans,” the lawmakers said in the letter.

We are in a teachable moment about political agendas, the way the left creates and abandons their narratives, and even how a nation goes to war.
For example, the media recently ignored the most historic divorce of the era. No, it’s not Johnny Depp and Amber Herd, or Tom Brady and Gisele. It’s the American left and Russia – former name: Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. The biggest consequence of that stunning reversal is the party that used to call for detente with Soviet Russia now wants to facilitate military action toward Putin and Russia.
