Modi-Fridman podcast: How AI voice cloning helped break language barriers

“Artificial intelligence (AI) can create many things based on human imagination,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on computer scientist and AI researcher Lex Fridman’s podcast released on Sunday, that used AI-powered voice cloning technology for enhancing accessibility and reach of the conversation.

The podcast’s dubbing was done by a US-based startup ElevenLabs. The software company used AI voice cloning technology that kept PM Modi’s and Fridman’s voice authentic even in translations, including intonations, emotions, and style of speech.
