'AI-First' Hype Gives Way to Reality: New Speechmatics Report Reveals What's Actually Working in AI
CAMBRIDGE, UK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After a wave of bold 'AI-first' announcements from major tech players, many are now scaling back. Rather than betting on speculative demos, successful enterprises are treating Voice AI as critical infrastructure. Share As the AI gold rush slows, a new report from Speechmatics explores what's actually working — and where the real value lies. Titled The Voice AI Reality Check: Frontline Perspectives for Enterprise in 2025, the report zeroes in on one of the fastest-evolving areas of AI: Voice AI. Built on interviews with leaders across healthcare, compliance, media, public services, and research, it reveals a clear shift from flashy demos to embedded, operational AI — where tools assist humans, deliver measurable ROI, and quietly power core infrastructure. Report highlights include: Assistive over autonomous: The most effective deployments augment people rather than replace them. Assistive agents are driving real ROI. Multilingual as standard: Real-time code-switching is now a baseline requirement, not a bonus. Accuracy is make-or-break: With growing global concerns over AI hallucinations, precision is essential — especially in compliance-heavy environments. Voice as infrastructure: Quietly embedded tools are outperforming headline-grabbing features. Rather than betting on speculative demos, successful enterprises are treating Voice AI as critical infrastructure. It's being embedded into workflows that demand speed, accuracy, and trust — from noisy control rooms to multilingual contact centres. The report closes with future-looking predictions, outlining the rise of emotionally intelligent, adaptive, and natively multilingual voice systems — and offers guidance on what enterprises must prioritise next.

MACAU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motorsport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, will shortly be in Macau for the 2025 FIA Extraordinary General Assembly and Annual Conference. Marking the first time this event has ever taken place in this diverse region, the conference will be hosted in partnership with the Automobile General Association Macao-China (AAMC) and Galaxy Entertainment Group and held at the Galaxy International Convention Centre. The event will welcome over 500 senior FIA delegates across mobility and motorsport from 149 countries, offering the opportunity to address key initiatives in road safety, sustainable mobility, regional sporting growth, and innovation in transport, with the FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem in attendance. Speaking ahead of his visit to Macau, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: 'Global gatherings like this are vital to the health of our federation. Bringing our community together allows us an invaluable opportunity for engagement and participation, particularly within a pivotal election year. 'The Members of the FIA are at the heart of everything we do, and I am looking forward to being inspired by and connected to them over the next few days, strengthening the link between sport and mobility, expanding our reach, and continuing to impact the global stage. 'I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made together during my first term in office and look forward to continuing that partnership going forward. I am committed to the transformation of the FIA, so it can be an even more positive force for society. Globally, we remain committed to growing motorsport participation through grassroots initiatives and accessibility programmes such as the Affordable Cross Car and the Global Karting Plan. 'At the same time, we continue to empower all regions through our mobility capabilities, maintaining a central role in the automotive industry and leading the dialogue on the future of sustainable cities, safety, and transport.' Commenting on the location of this year's conference, Ben Sulayem said: 'Macau is iconic within the world of motorsport and a fitting location for the FIA to host one of the most important weeks of our calendar.
