AI to generate commentary at European Games

Some of the commentary on this month’s European Athletics Team Championships will be generated by Artificial Intelligence, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced on Tuesday.

The AI will use the cloned voice of British commentator and former athlete Hannah French to turn a 24-hour live blog into an audio stream.

“I am excited to work with European Athletics and the EBU to explore using AI to bring even more content to our fans, speaking with one voice,” said French in the EBU’s statement.
