We sit down with Johnny Stevenson, co-founder of SoundSafe AI, to explore the evolving world of AI audio safety, his creative journey with Invasivemedia, and his work alongside Chicago music artists. He opens up about the real challenges of building ethical technology in today’s fast-moving digital landscape—and what it truly means to protect creators in the age of AI.

We’re also joined by Hamad Dada, co-founder of SoundSafe AI, who takes us back to his roots in Montreal. Growing up in a cultural melting pot, Hamad balanced a deep love for the arts—painting, design, and electronic music—with a career in engineering and telecom. That fusion of creativity and technical expertise ultimately paved the way for ventures like SoundSafe AI.

This episode is a masterclass in how diverse passions can converge to build groundbreaking, responsible technology. From innovation to ethics, we dive deep into what it takes to create AI systems that truly safeguard both creators and listeners.
