AI-generated voice of announcer of Al Michaels set to tackle Paris Olympics recaps

As the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris draws closer, a high-profile announcer is set to lend his voice to the Games coverage. But longtime NFL play-by-play broadcaster Al Michaels will not be doing the heavy lifting. An artificial intelligence generated version of Michaels' voice will be used for Olympic recaps, NBC announced. The AI-powered voice of Michaels will narrate Olympic video highlights for the company's streaming platform.

Fans will be able to customize the recaps based on their personal preferences and watch key moments from specific sports. The innovative tool built into 'Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock' will feature highlight packages up to 10 minutes long.

Michaels joined NBC Sports in 2006 and became the lead announcer of 'Sunday Night Football.' He began calling games for Amazon Prime Video's 'Thursday Night Football' in 2022. The upcoming 2024 season will mark Michaels' record 40th year as an NFL primetime play-by-play announcer.
