AI-generated voices are synthetic voices that use AI to mimic human speech, generated by deep learning algorithms and neural networks. AI voices work by analyzing large amounts of real human speech (voice recordings) to learn patterns in intonation, pace, and accents. The AI then uses this information to convert text into speech.

Amazon is reportedly building a new AI model that is multimodal to reduce their dependency on Anthropic AI which is backed by them.
