“The Future of Radio Won’t Be Robot DJs — It’ll Be Smarter Humans.”

I know this topic triggers a lot of people. Every time AI in radio comes up, the fear machine starts: “Robots are taking our jobs.”

But that’s not how I see it. I’m not looking to erase talent. I’m looking to arm talent with every tool in the arsenal.

The research is clear: most people can’t reliably tell the difference between AI-generated and human voices anymore. That’s not science fiction—it’s where we are today. And with voice-to-voice tech, you can deliver one read and instantly spin it into multiple languages, sponsor tags, or emotional styles without re-cutting in the booth.

Here’s the point:

• AI isn’t the enemy. It’s a power tool.
• People matter most. Live connection and community service will always be the soul of radio.
• But we’d be crazy not to use every advantage we can get to claw back profitability, efficiency, and relevance.

If AI can handle the late-night tag change, that gives us more time to be at the football game, the food drive, or the charity concert—where real impact happens.AI isn’t replacing broadcasters. AI is reloading our toolbelt. And I, for one, plan on using it to give this industry every edge it can get.
