In short
- The American First Lady Melania Trump has released an AI-Verhulde Audioboek of its memoirs, exclusively available via the Elfreader app.
- The book is investigating her Slovenian youth, modeling career and her meeting with President Donald Trump, who offers a personal look at her trip to the White House.
- The release comes days after Melania joined President Trump to sign the Take It Down Act, a new federal law that focuses on non-consensual intimate images and Deepfakes generated by AI.
The American First Lady Melania Trump has released the audio book version of her memoirs, ‘Melania’, with the help of a replica-generated replica of her voice-that the first time that an American first-lady has used artificial intelligence to tell a commercial publication.
The speech model was made “under its leadership and supervision” in collaboration with AI Audio Startup Elevenlabs, according to her official website.
The audio book, launched on Thursday, is exclusively available for $ 25 via the Elfreader app, a dedicated AI-driven audio platform built by Elflabs.
Initially released in English, extra versions are expected in Spanish, Portuguese and Hindi in the coming weeks.
“I am honored to bring your Melania – the AI Audiobook – completely told using artificial intelligence in my own voice,” Trump tweeted On Thursday. “Let the future of publishing start.”
The book ‘Reflect on her Slovenian youth, the crucial moments that led her to the world of High Fashion in Europe and New York, and the Serendipitous meeting with Donald Trump, a chance meeting that has changed forever the course of her life,’ said the official description of the Amazon.
Ai Voice Cloning’s “Legal Gray Zone”
The use of AI to simulate the voice of Melania Trump emphasizes the technical and legal considerations of AI Voice Cloning, DhruPad Das, Web3 Attorney and founder at Panda Law, told Decrypt.
Das said that although text-to-speech (TTS) technology is widely used and becomes legally non-contact when it comes to generic story, the cloning of the voice of a public figure introduces risk.
Although Trump has given a permit for the rights to use its voice for Elflabs, DAS noted that “there is a legal gray zone when AI mimics celebrities or political leaders, especially if their personality rights do not have an explicit license.”
“The moment you use a recognizable voice, you enter legal territory, even if the data came from public sources,” Das noted.
The lawyer added that the AI technology behind celebrities stories can also be used to help scales education, accessibility or government services.
Melania Trump and the “Take It Down Act”
The AudioBoek of Melania Trump runs for a little more than seven hours and joins the growing catalog of Eleven Reader of AI-Verhulde Werken, including publications of figures such as Maya Angelou, Deepak Chopra and Arianna Huffington.
Trump’s public revival only comes in the White House a few days after her appearance for the signing of the “Take It Down Act”, a new law that criminalizes the online publication of non-consensual images, including AI generated Deepfakes and mandates granted by platforms within 48 hours.
“This legislation is a powerful step forward in our efforts to ensure that every American, especially young people, can feel better protected against their image or identity that is being abused,” said Melania Trump at the signing.
