▼ + stars: | 2024-02-29 | by ( Dominick Reuter | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

For companies that specialize in this area, like Best Buy, that has contributed to several years now of sluggish sales. AdvertisementBeyond the pull-forward effects, Best Buy CEO Corie Barry laid some of the blame for the continuing sales lull at the feet of tech brands. Indeed, tech companies haven't exactly inspired shoppers to race into their nearest Best Buy for an upgrade, especially when they could buy tickets to a Taylor Swift concert instead. Other tech companies are tossing some bold ideas at the walls too. Either way, whatever the next buzzy tech may be, Barry says Best Buy would love for you to come check it out in their stores.

Walmart quietly reduced its store count in 2023 even though the company was doing really well. In addition to closing underperforming stores, the retailer sold at least 79 small-format locations. Given what Walmart has planned for the next few years, the move away from smaller locations makes sense. "Walmart has always struggled with smaller stores," Saunders said. In addition to new stores, many existing locations are being upgraded to Walmart's "store of the future" concept, including 650 projects this year.

Even with AI voice, there is nominally a voice actor somewhere in the process. What voice actors sayFor some voice actors, the choice is being made to stay away. Kinsella noted that AI voice played a foundational role in the integration of AI into daily life at an earlier point.

☆ AI-generated narrators threaten voice actors hoping for audiobook gigs
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-17 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

AI is entering the publishing industry in the form of artificial human voices narrating audiobooks. Some voice actors are avoiding jobs that could lead to their voices being cloned by AI. Audiobooks could soon be narrated by artificial intelligence instead of voice actors as technological advancements make professionals across the industry question their futures. As the industry booms, voice actors are becoming more wary of AI's potential to be used to clone their voices, according to CNBC. Synthesized voice algorithms aren't there yet to be able to fully reproduce all the nuances of the human voice."
