San Francisco, September 24: Meta is planning to integrate the voices of Judi Dench, known for her role as "M" in James Bond movies and wrestler-turned-actor John Cena. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms will reportedly break the news about the secured deal with these celebrities this week. The Meta AI chatbot can currently provide text prompts but does not offer voice output to users.
Reuters said in its report that the Facebook-parent Meta has hired the American film and voice actress Kristen Bell to provide her voice to the Meta AI chatbot. The Mark Zuckerberg-run company is following in the footsteps of the OpenAI company, which introduced the ChatGPT voice mode, allowing the users to listen to the results in text format.

The report said that the new feature in Meta AI would help the users to choose audio from the five celebrities. Besides Judi Dench, John Cena and Kristen Bell, the company would also add the voices of Awkwafina and Keegan-Michael Key, both actors and comedians. These voices would offer the AI chatbot users a wide range of text-listening experiences.
Further, Reuters said that Meta may also introduce several generic voices to the users. Zuckerberg's company will introduce the audio capabilities of its chatbot during the upcoming Meta Connect conference, which starts on Wednesday. During the event, the company is also expected to unveil its first versio.
