(The Hill) – First lady Melania Trump is turning to artificial intelligence (AI) for the release of the audiobook version of her memoir with a “replica” of her voice narrating her story.

“I am proud to be at the forefront of publishing’s new frontier – the intersection of artificial intelligence technology and audio,” the first lady said in a Thursday statement announcing the launch of “Melania: The Audiobook.”

The project based on her 2024 memoir was “created entirely with artificial intelligence audio technology.” 

The seven-hour, English language version is for sale on Trump’s personal website for $25.

“ElevenLabs developed an AI-generated replica of my voice under my strict supervision, which will establish an unforgettable connection with my personal story, in multiple languages for listeners worldwide,” Trump said.

ElevenLabs CEO Mati Staniszewski called the effort a “first-of-its-kind audiobook project,” saying the company looked “forward to helping bring this book to the public in many other languages” in the first lady’s “own voice.”

More versions of her book “will be released in multiple languages, including Spanish, Hindi and Portuguese” in the fall, according to the publisher. 

The first lady was on-hand earlier this week at the White House as President Trump signed the Take it Down Act. The legislation, which Melania Trump helped push through Congress, is aimed at protecting people from non-consensual sexualized content posted online.  

In remarks at the signing of the new law, she shared a cautious message about the potential pitfalls of AI.

“AI and social media are the digital candy for the next generation, sweet addictive and engineered to have an impact on the cognitive development of our children,” Trump said. 

“But unlike sugar, these new technologies can be weaponized, shape beliefs and, sadly, affect emotions and even be deadly,” she added.
