"Just ask Dave send him a text"Podcast Summary – The Ratchet Effect in AI Voice BotsIn this episode of the AI Voice Bot Podcast, Dave explores one of the biggest hidden risks in AI voice technology: the ratchet effect — where AI systems repeat and reinforce the same mistakes over time without correction.The discussion unpacks how voice bots often misinterpret silence or quick agreement as positive feedback, causing flawed behaviour to become entrenched. With studies showing bots can repeat critical errors hundreds of times before detection, the episode highlights why traditional success metrics like call handling time are dangerously incomplete.Key insights include:Why voice bots are especially vulnerable to reinforcing bad behaviourHow oversimplified metrics and constant learning amplify errorsThe role of segmented learning, human oversight, and “scheduled friction” in reducing riskWhy bots that admit uncertainty build significantly more user trustHow strong governance and guardrails reduce AI incidents by more than halfThe takeaway is clear: successful AI isn’t about smarter algorithms alone — it’s about humility, transparency, and human-centred control. The best AI systems aren’t perfect; they’re designed to recognise mistakes and improve safely.Powered by ib2. Got a question or topic you want covered next?
