Mass-produced AI Podcasts Disrupt the Industry

Artificial intelligence is now capable of mass-producing podcasts with completely virtual hosts, disrupting an industry with a fragile business model. This development started with Google's launch of Audio Overview, a mass-market podcast generator, over a year ago.

Startups such as ElevenLabs and Wondercraft have followed, creating podcasts without the need for a studio, human hosts, or recording. AI tools can produce state-of-the-art podcasts from various inputs, including legal documents and school handouts.

Whether based on a legal document or a school handout, AI tools can deliver a state-of-the-art podcast at the click of a mouse.

Inception Point AI, a pioneer in this movement, was launched in 2023 and releases around 3,000 podcasts per week with a team of just eight people. According to Jeanine Wright, Inception's founder, the immediate goal is to play the volume game.
