'A new frontier' or a 'predatory practice'?: Melania Trump uses AI imitation to narrate memoir

The First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, has released an audiobook of her memoir. But although the book sounds like it is narrated by Mrs Trump, it is actually voiced entirely by Artificial Intelligence.

It is thought to be the first time a living author has used an AI of their own voice to narrate their book, in favour of performing it themselves.

Announcing the book’s release, the first lady said she was "proud to be at the forefront of publishing’s new frontier – the intersection of artificial intelligence technology and audio".
