Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service announced it will begin testing AI-assisted dubbing.
Amazon's Prime Video streaming service announced Wednesday it will begin testing AI-assisted dubbing to make its international content more accessible to viewers worldwide.
The pilot programme will initially feature 12 licensed movies and series that previously lacked dubbing support, including titles such as "El Cid: La Leyenda," "Mi Mamá Lora," and "Long Lost."
The service will launch with English and Latin American Spanish dubbing options.
"At Prime Video, we believe in improving customers' experience with practical and useful AI innovation," said Raf Soltanovich, VP of technology at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios.
"AI-aided dubbing is only available on titles that do not have dubbing support, and we are eager to explore a new way to make series and movies more accessible and enjoyable."
