Melania Trump Releases AI-Narrated Memoir Audiobook in English

First Lady Melania Trump has released an audiobook version of her 2024 memoir, "Melania," narrated entirely using artificial intelligence technology that replicates her own voice, a first-of-its-kind project developed by ElevenLabs under her supervision. She heralded this release as "a new era in publishing," emphasizing the audiobook's availability in multiple languages, with English currently for sale and Spanish, Hindi, and Portuguese versions planned for later release. The seven-hour audiobook is exclusively available on MelaniaTrump.com and is being promoted with billboards in major U.S. cities. ElevenLabs CEO Mati Staniszewski expressed enthusiasm about the project’s pioneering nature and future multilingual expansions. This initiative comes amid Melania Trump's rare public appearances, including supporting the "Take It Down Act," legislation aimed at banning AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery. Additionally, the event has attracted attention in the cryptocurrency sector, with AI-related tokens experiencing short-term price gains, highlighting growing investor interest in AI integration across industries.
