Alexa Upgrade Lets Dead Family Speak to You by “Learning Voice in a Minute”

The goal, said Amazon’s senior vice president, Rohit Prasad, is to ‘make the memories last’ after ‘so many of us have lost someone we love’ during the pandemic.
The US retail giant then showed off a video segment portraying a child who asks Alexa if ‘grandma can finish reading me the Wizard of Oz?’ before the AI assistant affirms the command and changes her voice.
The idea is that – after listening to someone’s voice for less than a minute – Alexa would be able to simulate that voice when speaking.
