Seoul got caught trying to use Ai after Crayon Shin-chan’s mother’s voice

The Seoul Transportation Corporation, which tried to replace voice actor Kang Hee-seon’s voice in the subway with AI (artificial intelligence), eventually changed its plan after receiving backlash from voice actor and actor groups.

According to Newsis on the 16th, the Seoul Transportation Corporation announced on this day, “The recently changed information broadcast sound source was recorded and produced by voice actor Jeong Mi-sook, whose voice tone is similar to that of Kang,” and “It is not an AI voice synthesis sound source.”
