LAS VEGAS: Amazon<\/a>.com Inc wants to give customers the chance to make Alexa<\/a>, the company's voice assistant, sound just like their grandmother -- or anyone else.
The online retailer is developing a system to let Alexa mimic any voice after hearing less than a minute of audio, said Rohit Prasad, an Amazon senior vice president, at a conference the company held in Las Vegas Wednesday. The goal is to \"make the memories last\" after \"so many of us have lost someone we love\" during the pandemic, Prasad said.
Amazon declined to share when it would roll out such a feature.
The work wades into an area of technology that has garnered close scrutiny for potential benefits and abuses. For instance, Microsoft Corp<\/a> recently restricted which businesses could use its software to parrot voices. The goal is to help people with speech impairments or other problems but some worry it could also be used to propagate political deepfakes.
Amazon hopes the project will help Alexa become ubiquitous in shoppers' lives. But public attention has already shifted elsewhere. At Alphabet Inc's Google, an engineer made the highly contested claim that a company chat bot had advanced to sentience. Another Amazon executive said Tuesday that Alexa had 100 million customers globally, in line with figures the company has provided for device sales since January 2019.
Prasad said Amazon's aim for Alexa is \"generalizable intelligence,\" or the ability to adapt to user environments and learn new concepts with little external input. He said that goal is \"not to be confused with the all-knowing, all-capable, uber artificial general intelligence,\" or AGI, which Alphabet's DeepMind unit and Elon Musk-co-founded OpenAI are seeking.
Amazon shared its vision for companionship with Alexa at the conference. In a video segment, it portrayed a child who asked, \"Alexa, can grandma finish reading me the Wizard of Oz?\"
A moment later, Alexa affirmed the command and changed her voice. She spoke soothingly, less robotically, ostensibly sounding like the individual's grandmother in real life.

在线零售商正在开发一个系统让Alexa模仿任何语音音频听不到一分钟后,Rohit普拉萨德说,亚马逊的高级副总裁,该公司周三在拉斯维加斯举行的一次会议上。我们的目标是“让记忆最后”后“我们中的许多人已经失去我们爱的人”在大流行期间,普拉萨德说。
亚马逊拒绝透露何时推出这样一个功能。
涉水进入工作的技术,得到了密切关注潜在的好处和弊端。例如,微软(msft . o:行情)最近限制,企业可以利用其软件鹦鹉的声音。我们的目标是帮助人们与言语障碍或其他问题,但有些人担心它也可以用来传播政治deepfakes。
亚马逊希望该项目将帮助Alexa购物者的生活中无处不在。但是公众的注意力已经转移到其他地方。在字母表公司的谷歌,一个工程师高度争议声称公司聊天机器人就先进的感觉。另一个亚马逊高管周二表示,Alexa有1亿客户在全球范围内,符合数据公司提供设备销售自2019年1月。
普拉萨德说,亚马逊的Alexa的目的是“可概括的情报,”或用户环境的适应能力和学习新概念几乎没有外部输入。他说,目标是“不与无所不知的困惑,都能够,超级人工一般智力”或美国国际集团,字母的DeepMind单位和埃伦Musk-co-founded OpenAI正在寻求。
亚马逊共享愿景陪伴与Alexa会议。在视频片段,它描绘了一个孩子问:“Alexa,奶奶能读完我《绿野仙踪》吗?”
不一会儿,Alexa肯定了指挥和改变了她的声音。她安慰地说话,更少的机械,表面上听起来像是在现实生活中个人的祖母。
