Alexa from Amazon may soon use
the voices of your lost loved ones.
These are truly strange times that we are living in. Amazon has presented us to a new function where its well-known voice assistant Alexa can now mimic the speech patterns of a deceased person, which is a development right out of a dystopian near future. Yikes.
Rohit Prasad, Senior Vice President and Head Scientist of Alexa AI, expressed optimism that this new AI technology can "enrich people's lives" during Amazon's re:MARS conference. He demonstrated what it was going to sound like to the audience, and suffice it to say, it was beautiful. In the video, a young kid requests that his grandmother read him the remaining pages of a story rather than Alexa. You're aware of what transpired afterwards, no? It did.

We are undoubtedly living in the golden age of AI, where our aspirations and science fiction are becoming a reality, said Prasad. "AI can't take away that grief of loss, but it can absolutely make their memories remain. Yes, it sounds familiar because Black Mirror has used it previously. The dystopian anthology series "Be Right Back" from Netflix's second season opens with a woman learning about new technology that would let her contact a late boyfriend via voice patterns and internet conversations.
This is an improvement above previous instances of Alexa using the voices of famous people like NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal and actor Samuel L. Jackson. For the new feature, Alexa will also only require one minute of audio from the deceased. However, the new Black Mirror-inspired idea hasn't yet been made available to the general public.
