News Synopsis

Amazon is developing a voice-mimicking feature for its virtual assistant Alexa, which copies the speech of the living and the dead. Alexa's principal scientist Rohit Prasad said that Alexa can mimic voices in less than a minute of recorded audio. It can certainly hold up memories.

Let us tell you that this feature will be beneficial for those companies, which make digital memory of people after death. In view of this, a video clip of the new feature was presented at Amazon's MARS 2022 Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The clip showed a boy asking Alexa to read 'The Wizard of Oz' in his grandmother's voice. Alexa then switched her default voice to a softer voice.

Significantly, many startups are working on using artificial intelligence to create versions of people after their deaths. The Alexa app learns to replicate a person as a chatbot. The AI ​​then records people's stories and uses them to create replicas embedded in the smart speaker. Artificial intelligence will soon become a part of daily life.

The intelligent, interactive voice assistant Alexa is offered by Amazon. Alexa can perform quick math calculations for you, launch your favourite playlists, check the news and the weather, and operate many of the smart products in your home. Alexa is available on Amazon's line of Echo speakers, smart thermostats, soundbars, lamps, and lights as well as directly on your phone through the Alexa app.
