The use of a voice-cloning technology marrying old audio clips to an actor's narration is bringing an historic U.S. Supreme Court decision to life.
FILE - Chief Justice Earl Warren speaks at the Washington National Archives during a ceremony marking the 175th anniversary of congressional passage of legislation establishing the federal judicial system in the U.S., on Sept. 22, 1964. Seventy years ago, no one outside of the U.S. Supreme Court building heard it when Warren announced the historic Brown vs. Board of Education decision on school desegregation.
While the court began recording arguments in 1955, virtually no one heard them until 1969, when they were made available through the National Archives for scholarly and legal research. Full public access wasn't granted until 1993. The court began posting arguments on its website in the 2000s, but usually at a delay of several days.
“It’s good to draw attention to this case,” Goldman said, “because it’s fundamental to our understanding to the Constitution and it changed America.” Through artificial intelligence, these voice samples were melded with those of actors who read the historical transcripts to make it sound like they were speaking anew.
