An AI company, ElevenLabs, has announced the launch of its Reader app, which will feature digitally produced celebrity voice-overs of deceased actors such as Judy Garland, James Dean, and Burt Reynolds. The app is designed to convert various text formats into voice-overs, making content accessible in different languages and voices.
The company has obtained agreements with the estates of the actors to use their voices, marking a significant advancement in the use of artificial intelligence in Hollywood. While the technology has shown remarkable progress in creating realistic images, text, and sound, questions have been raised about its ethical implications in creative industries.
