In April, Alexis Bogan, a 21-year-old from Rhode Island, lost her ability to speak fluently due to brain surgery. In response, a synthetic version of her old voice was created using artificial intelligence technology developed by OpenAI. This voice clone, which she can access via a phone app, allows her to communicate effectively again. The AI-generated voice is described as synthetic but remarkably real-sounding, capable of saying almost anything she wants to express.
