Lesson 2: Different Types of AI
Audio
AI is also being used to create, modify, and mimic human speech and music in amazing ways.
Here are some of the main ways AI audio generation is used today:
- Text-to-speech: reads any text aloud in a natural, human-sounding voice.
- Voice Cloning: can copy someone's unique voice from just a few seconds of recorded audio.
- Real-time translation: listens to someone speaking in one language and instantly speaks it back in another language.
- Music Generation: composes a full original song in seconds, and can even remix existing music.
Just like the AI images and videos you have seen, the quality of AI-generated audio has improved incredibly fast. Today, AI voices and music can sound so realistic that it is often very difficult to tell them apart from a real human speaking or a real musician playing.
