"The use of AI to replace human creativity is in itself a dangerous path," Stephen Briggs, a voice over artist known for narrating the works of Terry Pratchett, told The Guardian."
"Audible believes that AI represents a momentous opportunity to expand the availability of audiobooks... ensuring listeners worldwide can access extraordinary books that might otherwise never reach their ears."
Audible has introduced an "integrated AI narration technology" that enables publishers to produce audiobooks using over 100 AI-generated voices in various languages. This move is seen as a significant threat to voice actors, particularly as they seek protections against AI in the industry. Audible also offers improved royalty rates for exclusive AI-generated content and plans to roll out an AI translation feature. CEO Bob Carrigan emphasized the potential of AI to broaden audiobook accessibility globally, reflecting a shift in the publishing and audio industries.
