Meta is putting celebrity voices on its AI chatbots.
Meta has recently made deals with several famous participants, such as Kristen Bell, John Cena, and Judi Dench, to animate its AI chatbots. The goal? In order to let users chat with these artificial intelligences by hearing the responses in the voices of their favorite celebrities.
An assorted vocal spectrum for a large audience.
Reuters indicates that other famous faces, Awkwafina and Keegan-Michael Key, are also part of this new initiative. But Meta doesn’t stop there. One can find generic voice options available for people who seek a more neutral voice. In the U.S. and regions that speak English, these new options will come available this week, but specific locations are still unspecified.
A well-thought-out strategy
The news comes on the heels of a report last month that mentioned Meta was discussing deals with players to acquire the rights to use their voices for its AI initiatives. As a result of the deals, the chatbot accessible on Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp might soon include these famous voices. According to Reuters, Meta has supposedly aimed to wrap up these deals prior to the Connect conference, at which the company will reveal these new voice options.
AI: a transformational technological change
The advancement of artificial intelligence technology keeps invading our regular lives. Meta is revealing its ambition to lead in innovation and deliver a progressively immersive and personalized user experience with this initiative.
