What is AI and why has it become a buzzword in 2023?
Artificial intelligence in its simplest form is a field, that combines computer science and robust datasets to facilitate problem-solving. Over the years, artificial intelligence has gone through many cycles of hype, but the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022 seems to have marked a turning point. Generative AI has never loomed this large, and this leap forward in generative models enables users to quickly generate new content based on a variety of inputs. Inputs and outputs to these models can include text, sounds, imagery, 3D models, and a variety of other data types. In 2023, the narrative around AI has evolved significantly from a buzzword to a business strategy. Businesses are delving deeply into its strategic, financial, and operational impact. As the hype around the use of AI in business takes off, conversations around AI ethics have also become a topic.
How will AI shape the future of VoIP?

VoIP being a technology that allowed voice and data communication over the internet, it changed the way businesses and individuals communicated. Now, with AI, VoIP is set to become even more powerful, efficient, and innovative.

2. Enhanced Voice Recognition
With AI, VoIP systems will be able to understand and interpret spoken language with greater accuracy. The system can learn to recognize and distinguish different voices, accents, and speech patterns using machine learning algorithms, AI can also be used to identify and analyze different emotional states in a caller’s voice, such as anger, frustration, or satisfaction. This can be particularly useful in customer service scenarios.
