Stephen gets Fry-ed by AI 😖

Fun fact: he narrated the official Harry Potter audiobooks!

Actor Stephen Fry has raised concerns about AI after discovering his voice was impersonated by machine learning. During the CogX Festival in London, the 66-year-old actor and narrator played a clip where his voice was used for a historical documentary. 📚

“Yes, it shocked me. They used my reading of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter books, and from that dataset, an AI of my voice was created and it made that new narration.”

Stephen Fry

He cautioned people to be wary over any voice recordings they hear online, for they could be AI generated. 👆

In the past decade, AI has been applied in the film and television industry for various purposes, such as de-aging actors, analysing viewer behavior on streaming platforms, resurrecting the voices of deceased actors, and even crafting entire movie trailers. 🤭
