Sorry for being pedantic (this time for real). Deep learning is a building block of AI, but no use of AI.
I just spent 10 minutes trying to listen to a damned voice message left in the phone mail box. Apparently it was one those call centers because lots of people talking the background for 5s, the telemarketer ended the call after leaving the useless message.
I just found Sunrise has a speech-to-text service for voice messages. So, maybe speech-to-text mediated by AI is one legit application.
Sounds like he needs to apply it to his own AI. 
Depressing or encouraging, anyway a useful study
