The Human Infrastructure Behind AI Dubbing feat Cissy Yun

AI dubbing is often discussed in terms of how good the technology has become. But what happens when you actually put it into production?

Drawing on two years of building and scaling AI dubbing at TED, this conversation with Cissy Yun will explore the less visible work behind the technology: how the role of linguists is evolving, how we define quality when models are constantly improving, and why the workflows, people, and feedback loops around AI may matter just as much as the models themselves.
