The article discusses how U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s-like disease, has created an AI-generated voice clone to help her communicate more effectively as her speech becomes impaired. The AI voice, created by a Canadian company using recordings of Wexton’s past speeches and interviews, allows her to sound like her old self. Wexton hopes the technology will enable her to continue serving constituents and raising awareness about progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare brain disorder that impairs mobility and speech. The article highlights the potential benefits of AI voice cloning for individuals with speech difficulties, while also acknowledging concerns about the technology’s potential for misuse or deepfakes. Experts emphasize the importance of transparency and consent when using such AI tools.
