Artificial intelligence is being applied to audio processing for both enhancement and monitoring purposes. Early developments focus on voice isolation tools that use neural networks to separate speech from background noise. Services such as Diffio, Adobe Podcast, and ElevenLabs allow producers to restore distorted recordings or archival material by adjusting the balance between spoken words and environmental sounds.

More recent applications have expanded into security and surveillance. AI voice detectors are now being used to identify synthetic or cloned audio to prevent deepfake-related scams and identity fraud. Additionally, ‘Emotion AI’ is being implemented in workplace settings, such as call centers, to monitor employee tone and empathy. This shift toward emotional assessment has drawn criticism regarding increased pressure on workers and potential impacts on safety and quality.
