The AI voice reads the entire book, which runs a little over seven hours. The content of the memoir covers her childhood in Slovenia, her career in modeling, and the events that led to her meeting President Donald Trump.
The voice model was developed by ElevenLabs, a company that builds voice technology. According to Melania's official website, the project was done with her direct input and oversight.
In a post on X, Melania said, "I am honored to bring you Melania—The AI Audiobook—narrated entirely using artificial intelligence in my own voice. Let the future of publishing begin".
