AI recreates Michael Caine for "The Odyssey" audiobook

An AI-generated version of Sir Michael Caine's voice is narrating a new 13-hour audiobook of Homer's "The Odyssey." The audio company ElevenLabs created the voice replica, combining it with a full cast, music, and sound effects, all produced using their AI models. This free release, while not connected to Christopher Nolan's forthcoming film, taps into the current cultural fascination with Greek mythology. Caine, who retired from acting in 2023, previously authorized ElevenLabs to clone his voice for various projects.

ElevenLabs' Iconic Voice Marketplace offers AI versions of notable figures like Stan Lee and Judy Garland for licensing. However, the rise of AI in entertainment faces scrutiny, with some stars like Guillermo del Toro opposing its use. Despite his involvement, Matthew McConaughey has voiced concerns about AI actors potentially infiltrating the industry and is using patent law to safeguard his voice and likeness.
