Amazon recently showcased new technology in which Alexa is able to impersonate the voices of loved ones
Many of us wish we could see a loved one who has passed away or hear their voice. However, what would we actually do or feel if this was possible? Amazon recently showcased new technology in which Alexa is able to impersonate the voices of loved ones. The technology was highlighted in a video during Amazon’s global AI event for Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics, and Space (re: MARS). A child in the video asks Alexa if their grandmother can finish reading them the book The Wizard of Oz. Alexa switches from her voice to the voice of the child’s grandmother. The implication is that the child’s grandmother has passed away and that this act is part of the child’s way of staying connected to their grandmother.
