Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is set to introduce AI-generated voices of celebrities like Judi Dench, Awkwafina, and John Cena for its Meta AI chatbot. This feature will allow users to interact with the chatbot using these celebrity voices, alongside generic voice options. The announcement is expected at the upcoming Connect developer conference, with availability in the U.S. and other English-speaking markets soon after.
This development follows a similar initiative by OpenAI, which previously faced challenges with celebrity voice licensing. The integration of celebrity voices into AI chatbots represents a significant trend in enhancing user engagement through familiar and recognizable voices. However, the financial arrangements for the celebrities involved remain undisclosed.
