Hearing Val Kilmer Again
Six years ago Hollywood actor Val Kilmer lost his voice to throat cancer. Now a startup called Somatic has built an AI-based technology that is helping him get it back. It works by recreating his voice based on past recordings and it is simultaneously offering new hope to other patients with similar afflictions, while worrying watchdog groups who immediately imagine all the potentials for misuse of this technology.
It has become a common refrain with this type of recreation technology. The more ambitious and innovative it is, the more danger it seems to pose for misuse by those who will have more evil intentions in mind.

How It All Started
A Short Backstory Of This Blog
This is a blog about non-obvious ideas. Originally launched on the Typepad platform in 2005 as the Influential Marketing blog, the stories at first focused mainly on digital marketing while Rohit worked at Ogilvy Advertising. In 2015 Rohit officially rebranded to the Non-Obvious Insights Blog and published his WSJ bestseller Non-Obvious. For the past twenty one years, this blog has coined new terms, introduced future marketing practices and inspired the next generation of non-obvious thinkers and marketers.
