What Happens When Wizard of Oz Gets Read by Judy Garland in 2023

A new AI app has cloned Judy Garland's voice to read "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." ElevenLabs, a text-to-speech AI startup, announced its Reader App, which can replicate the voices of iconic figures like Garland, James Dean, Burt Reynolds, and Sir Laurence Olivier. The app, launched last week on iOS and with preregistration open for Android, transforms any text into a voiceover with emotion and contextual understanding. The startup collaborated with the estates of the late stars for this technology. However, voice-cloning technology poses ethical challenges and has been misused in scams. ElevenLabs placed voice-cloning behind a paywall and implemented content moderation to prevent misuse and report illegal activities. Recent events highlight these ethical challenges, such as Scarlett Johansson's legal action against OpenAI for cloning her voice without permission.
