Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava thinks AI emails are killing conversations
Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava expresses skepticism toward the use of generative AI in professional communication and creative processes. She argues that AI-generated content diminishes the quality of human conversation and creative collaboration.
Why it matters
It reflects a growing debate among tech leaders regarding the impact of AI on human authenticity and the future of workplace communication.
Kakul Srivastava is the CEO of Splice, the sample platform countless producers rely on for one-shots and melodic loops. Samples pulled from the service have found their way into massive hits like Lisa’s “Money” and “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter. (The original samples are here and here, for the curious.)
Before that, Kakul held executive roles at Flickr, Yahoo, GitHub, and Adobe. Throughout her career, Kakul has found herself at the intersection of Silicon Valley and creatives. That’s been especially true at Splice, where she’s not just expanded the platform’s footprint by acquiring Spitfire Audio, but also overseen its forays into the world of generative AI.
