In a powerful demonstration of how artificial intelligence can expand access to knowledge, Microsoft has partnered with Project Gutenberg—the world’s oldest digital library—to create nearly 5,000 AI-narrated audiobooks. This initiative is making literature more accessible to people around the globe, especially those who are visually impaired or lack access to traditional libraries. ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŽง

Project Gutenberg has long been a pioneer in free digital literature, offering tens of thousands of eBooks to the public. But with the help of Microsoft’s cutting-edge generative AI, the library has now taken a major leap forward—transforming its vast collection into audio format at an unprecedented scale and speed. ๐Ÿ“–โžก๏ธ๐Ÿ”Š
