Summary
CANNES, FRANCE - JUNE 20: Spotifys CEO and Co-Founder Daniel Ek (L) joins author and comedian Trevor Noah to discuss the future of storytelling at Spotify Beach on June 20, 2023 in Cannes, France. The company said the feature relies on OpenAIs voice generation technology, which was also announced Monday. The technology can create "realistic synthetic voices" from just a few seconds of speech, OpenAI said in a release. The company worked with podcasters like Dax Shepard, Lex Fridman, Monica Padman, Steven Bartlett and Bill Simmons on a select number of past and upcoming episodes. Spotify said the episodes were initially translated into Spanish, French and German, and they will be available to both free users and paid subscribers in the coming days and weeks, according to the release.
