This year, highlights from the Summer Olympics will be brought to you by artificial intelligence — and more specifically, the A.I.-generated narration of Al Michaels.
The reel will feature the voice of Mr. Michaels, the 79-year-old American broadcaster, who first covered the Olympics decades ago.
Mr. Michaels, however, will not be holing up in a broadcast booth each night to briefly summarize the dozens of Olympic events that took place.
Mr. Michaels granted approval for the use of his voice.
“When I was approached about this, I was skeptical but obviously curious,” Mr. Michaels said in a statement issued by the company.
