Truecaller Teams Up With Microsoft To Create AI Voice To Answer Calls: 'Transforming The Way We Interact'
Truecaller, the popular caller ID app, has announced a new feature that will allow users to create an AI version of their voice to answer incoming calls. This innovation is made possible through a partnership with Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Azure AI Speech.
广受欢迎的来电显示应用程序Truecaller宣布了一项新功能，该功能将允许用户创建AI版本的语音来接听来电。通过与微软（纳斯达克股票代码：MSFT）的Azure AI Speech的合作，这项创新成为可能。
What Happened: Truecaller, known for its ability to identify and block spam calls, is introducing a new feature that will enable users to record their voice and create an AI version of it, according to the press release. This AI version will be able to answer incoming calls, providing a sense of familiarity and comfort for users.
发生了什么：新闻稿称，以识别和阻止垃圾电话的能力而闻名的Truecaller正在推出一项新功能，该功能将使用户能够录制自己的语音并创建其AI版本。这个人工智能版本将能够接听来电，为用户提供熟悉感和舒适感。
The AI Assistant, available in select countries, was first introduced on the Truecaller app in 2022. It screens incoming calls, informing users of the reason for the call, and allowing them to choose how to respond.
人工智能助手在部分国家可用，于2022年首次在Truecaller应用程序上推出。它会筛选来电，告知用户通话原因，并允许他们选择如何回应。
"This groundbreaking capability not only adds a touch of familiarity and comfort for the users but also showcases the power of AI in transforming the way we interact with our digital assistants," says Truecaller product director and general manager Raphael Mimoun in the blog post.
Truecaller产品总监兼总经理拉斐尔·米蒙在博客文章中说：“这种突破性的功能不仅为用户增添了熟悉感和舒适感，还展示了人工智能在改变我们与数字助理互动方式方面的力量。”
Previously, users could only choose from preset voices to represent them. This new feature is a step towards personalizing the service even further.
以前，用户只能从预设语音中进行选择来表示它们。这项新功能是朝着进一步个性化服务迈出的一步。
During the Build conference, Azure AI Speech introduced a personal voice feature that allows users to record and replicate their voices. However, Microsoft notes in a blog post that this feature is available on a limited basis and is intended for specific use cases, such as voice assistants.
在构建会议期间，Azure AI Speech 引入了个人语音功能，允许用户录制和复制他们的声音。但是，微软在博客文章中指出，此功能在有限的基础上可用，适用于特定用例，例如语音助手。
Why It Matters: The introduction of this feature is a significant step in the evolution of AI technology. It follows a recent statement by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who emphasized that AI should be treated as a tool, not as a human-like entity. This new feature aligns with Nadella's stance, as it offers users a tool that can replicate their voice and interact with callers on their behalf.
为何重要：此功能的引入是人工智能技术演变的重要一步。在此之前，微软首席执行官萨蒂亚·纳德拉最近发表声明，强调应将人工智能视为工具，而不是类人实体。这项新功能符合纳德拉的立场，因为它为用户提供了一种工具，可以复制他们的声音并代表他们与来电者进行互动。
This development also comes at a time when Microsoft is making significant strides in the AI space. Just last week, the company introduced Isolated AI for U.S. Intelligence, a groundbreaking technology that allows the analysis of secret data without risking exposure to external entities.
这一发展也是在微软在人工智能领域取得长足进步之际发生的。就在上周，该公司为美国情报部门推出了隔离式人工智能，这是一项开创性的技术，可以在不冒暴露于外部实体的风险的情况下分析秘密数据。
Truecaller, on the other hand, has been making consistent efforts to enhance its services. In 2023, the company reintroduced its call recording feature, albeit as a paid service, after temporarily discontinuing it due to regulatory concerns.
另一方面，Truecaller一直在努力增强其服务。2023年，该公司因监管问题暂时停止了通话录音功能，尽管是付费服务。
