Meta has already secured commitments from several actors, including Kristen Bell, John Cena and Judi Dench, to use their voices for the Meta AI chatbot, Reuters reports. If the users prefers it, they can talk to the chatbot while listening to answers in the voice of their favorite celebrities. Other celebrities include Awkwafina and Keegan-Michael Key, a source told Reuters.
Besides these five voices, the source also said that there are more generic voice options if users prefer them. All voices will be available soon in the US and other English-speaking regions. However, it is not clear where are the specific locations.
The news follows a report from last month which claimed Meta was negotiating with actors to secure the rights to use their voices for its AI projects.
Now, the deals have reportedly been struck, and the chatbot found when using Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp could feature these famous voices soon. The company had intended to finalize agreements before the Connect conference, where Reuters’ source says it will announce the new voice options.
