AI Accents

This week, we discuss a BBC article about a British firm, Synthesia, developing AI voice tools capable of reproducing British regional accents. 

We explore the implications of this technology, considering how it could make AI interactions more comfortable for users by matching their local accents. 

While acknowledging the potential benefits for training videos, customer support, and presentations, we also raise concerns about the risk of voice cloning for scams and the challenges of ensuring clarity with strong regional accents.
