We’re aware there’s been discussion in the last 24 hours regarding our use of AI in relation to voiceover work. There is some important context to this, which is explained here bbc.in/3xclyCN
ALT A statement from a BBC spokesperson reads: “We are making a highly sensitive documentary which features a contributor who is nearing the end of life and is now unable to speak. We have been working closely with their family to explore how we might best represent the contributor’s voice at the end of the film when words they have written are read out. In these very particular circumstances and with the family’s wishes in mind we have agreed to use AI for a brief section to recreate a voice which can now no longer be heard. This will be clearly labelled within the film.”
