Melania Trump Releases AI-Narrated Memoir Audiobook

First Lady Melania Trump has released an AI-narrated audiobook version of her 2024 memoir "Melania," which is available exclusively on her personal website for $25. The audiobook was created in collaboration with ElevenLabs, a New York-based AI audio technology startup, which developed an AI-generated replica of her voice under her supervision. While currently available only in English, versions in multiple languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi are planned for release later this year. Trump described this project as ushering in a "new era in publishing," highlighting the intersection of artificial intelligence and audio storytelling. The memoir offers insights into her life from her childhood in Slovenia to her role as First Lady, including her meeting with Donald Trump and her pro-choice stance on abortion. Despite the innovative AI narration, the memoir's sales were modest compared to other political figures, and the audiobook continues to spark conversation about AI's role in media.
