AI Voiceover Technology, Audiobook Industry Contracts

Audiobook narrators are protesting new contract language from Findaway Voices, a Spotify-owned company, which allows Apple to use narrator voices for machine learning training. While some suggest narrators could use AI to speed up their own production, others argue for new laws to protect the copyright of a person's distinctive voice. The industry is currently divided on the ethics of "opt-out" clauses for AI training.
