Audible Embraces AI to Generate Audiobooks

Audible Turns to AI for Audiobook Creation

Audible, the Amazon-owned audiobook platform, has announced plans to use artificial intelligence to produce select audiobooks. The company says the adoption of AI narration will help authors produce audio versions of their books more efficiently and at a lower cost, especially for titles with limited commercial potential.

Impact on Audiobook Industry

While Audible claims it will continue to support human narration for most productions, the move has sparked debate over potential job losses among voice actors and concerns about quality. The company emphasizes that authors will retain control over how their content is presented and distributed.
