First Lady Melania Trump Publishes Audiobook With AI-Generated Voice
In a notable move in the literary world, First Lady Melania Trump has announced the release of her audiobook, titled "Melania - The AI Audiobook." The audiobook, set to hit the market this year, will feature an AI-generated replica of her voice. Trump expressed her honor in presenting this unique publication to the public, making the announcement via social media on Thursday.
Developed with the assistance of AI technology, the seven-hour recording will be entirely narrated by an AI-generated voice mimicking Trump's unique tone and rhythm. The audiobook will be exclusively available in English, with plans to release multiple foreign language versions starting in Fall 2025. The English version can be accessed and purchased through ElevenReader, an online platform for digital publications.
The AI-generated replica of Trump's voice was carefully crafted under her supervision to ensure its authenticity. The company responsible for the AI audio solutions, ElevenLabs, played a crucial role in this development.
The First Lady's memoir, due for release at the end of 2024, will follow the audiobook. On the policy front, Trump has been actively advocating for a recently signed law aimed at combating "revenge porn" images. This law extends its protection to AI-generated photos and videos, a tactic against so-called deepfakes. While this move has been hailed as a victory for parents and families seeking to protect children from online exploitation, it has sparked concerns from civil liberties groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), who view it as a potential restriction of freedom of expression.
In addition to these endeavors, the First Lady is involved in several lucrative projects, including the production of a docu-series for Amazon, for which she is said to have received a multimillion-dollar contract.

Melania Trump's foray into technology extends beyond the AI-generated audiobook, as she is also producing a docu-series for Amazon. In the realm of politics, Trump has been advocating for a law combating "revenge porn," which now includes protection for AI-generated images.
As the president of the United States, Donald Trump supported his wife's venture into the world of entertainment and technology, with the "Melania - The AI Audiobook" available on ElevenReader, and the upcoming docu-series on Amazon.
