US First Lady Melania Trump warned recently of the danger of AI deepfakes. Now she is releasing an audiobook narrated by an artificial intelligence-generated version of her own voice.
The 55-year-old wife of President Donald Trump announced the release of the seven-hour recording — which retails for $25 — in a social media post on Thursday.
“My story, my perspective, the truth,” narrates a voice in the Slovenian-born former model’s distinctive accent, over a short black and white video featuring computer-generated graphics of her face.
Whether it’s Melania herself who is speaking in the video, or her AI doppelganger, is not made clear.
She then writes in the same post: “I am honored to bring you Melania — The AI Audiobook — narrated entirely using artificial intelligence in my own voice.
“Let the future of publishing begin.”
The website for the audiobook says the “AI-generated replica” of Melania Trump’s voice was “created under Mrs. Trump’s direction and supervision.”
“Multiple” foreign language versions would be available later this year, it added.
