"Reviving the Past: AI Brings Voice Actor Back to Life in 'Cyberpunk 2077'"

CD Projekt SA, the developer of "Cyberpunk 2077," has used AI to replicate the voice of the late Polish actor Miłogost Reczek, who passed away in 2021. The company obtained permission from Reczek's family to recreate his voice using AI, rather than finding a replacement actor. The process involved using a Ukrainian voice-cloning software called Respeecher to change the voice of another actor to sound like Reczek. The use of AI in the entertainment industry remains a contentious issue, with concerns about talent being replaced and questions about actor autonomy.
