First Lady Melania Trump has released an audiobook of her memoir with a twist.
“Melania: The Audiobook” was released Thursday using a “replica” of her reading her story, The Hill reported.
“I am proud to be at the forefront of publishing’s new frontier — the intersection of artificial intelligence technology and audio,” she said in a statement.
The new project was “created entirely with artificial intelligence audio technology.”
The audiobook runs for seven hours and costs $25.

Trump worked with ElevenLabs to develop the product.
“ElevenLabs developed an AI-generated replica of my voice under my strict supervision, which will establish an unforgettable connection with my personal story, in multiple languages for listeners worldwide,” Trump said.
ElevenLabs CEO Mati Staniszewski called the effort a “first-of-its-kind audiobook project.” Staniszewski said the company looked “forward to helping bring this book to the public in many other languages.”
Melania Trump was present when her husband signed the Take it Down Act, which protects people from non-consensual sexualized content posted online.
She spoke about the dangers of AI.
“AI and social media are the digital candy for the next generation, sweet addictive and engineered to have an impact on the cognitive development of our children,” Melania Trump said.
“But unlike sugar, these new technologies can be weaponized, shape beliefs and, sadly, affect emotions and even be deadly,” she said.
