Today’s AJ Highlights

Good morning: One of the potential intriguing uses of AI for artists is the ability to create AI versions of themselves that can be out there working when the artist is at home (or elsewhere, even dead). We’re starting to see it. Audible now allows writers to clone their own voices to read audiobooks. And word that James Earl Jones licensed LucasFilm to use his very distinctive voice in new projects before he died. No rules of the road yet for how these AIs are used and what the rights are.

Here are today’s top stories. And below, as usual, all the stories we collected.

  • Italy’s Culture Minister Resigns Amid Scandal Italy’s culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano resigns after a media storm regarding his appointment of ex-mistress Maria Rosaria Boccia to a government position, sparking public outrage. Reuters
  • Orlando Fringe Adopts Group Leadership Model Orlando Fringe transitions to a tri-directorate leadership model, a shift from a single executive director to three equal leaders, each with specialized roles, to improve management efficiency. Orlando Weekly
  • Audible to Allow AI-Generated Voice Clones for Audiobook Narrators Audible is introducing a feature allowing authors and narrators to create AI-generated voice clones, potentially accelerating audiobook production. The Verge
  • Australian Government Proposes Social Media Ban for Children Australia is planning to introduce age verification technology to prevent children under 16 from accessing social media, citing concerns about online safety. Deadline
  • Brian Eno’s Creative Process Explored in New Film A new film on Brian Eno explores the complexities of creativity, particularly the philosophical question of how one should approach the act of creation. The New Yorker
