Samsung’s AI is able to copy your voice to answer calls for you

The personal assistant industry has been in the doldrums for a while. It seemed that Google Assistant and Alexa had grown as much as they could, leaving the crumbs of the market for the rest. For example, we don’t blame you if you’ve never used Bixby even though you have a Samsung phone.

The arrival of new artificial intelligence tools may change this. In just a few months, the market has completely changed, and now companies like Google are obsessed with launching their alternative to ChatGPT and other AIs. And this is where Bixby can convince us.

Bixby will use your voice to speak

Samsung’s new feature uses artificial intelligence to improve Bixby in a way that will shock us: to copy our voice. The new “personalized voice maker” allows users to create a digital copy of their voice, which can be used to automatically answer calls using the mobile answering feature.

Indeed, we can let an AI answer for us, and do it with a voice very similar to ours. And that’s just the beginning; Samsung claims to be working on more features that will be able to use our voice to read sentences or messages.

For now, the feature appears as a Bixby button when they call us. If for some reason we cannot respond at this time (for example, if we are in a meeting), all we have to do is press the button and write a text message. The AI ​​will take care of automatically answering the call and saying the message with its synthetic voice created from ours. Obviously, for this to work, the AI ​​must first listen to samples of our voice, which once stored, it can use to “speak”.

At the moment, this feature is only available in South Korea, and on devices from the new Galaxy S23 range; but if Samsung manages to expand compatibility, many people may start to remember that they had Bixby pre-installed on their mobile.
