Bible Verses of the Day
6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. [2 Timothy 4:6-8, ESV]

As it prepares for a major relaunch, Toys R Us is embracing generative AI tools that have become the focus of the marketing and media industry. OpenAI kicked off the current AI frenzy with the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 and is prepared to take another leap forward with the forthcoming release of its Sora tool.
Toys R Us Studios relied on Native Foreign and Chief Creative Officer Nik Kleverov, who has alpha access to Sora, to create a one-minute photo-realistic video about the retailer’s origin. The video imagines how Charles Lazarus, the son of a bike-store owner, dreamed up Toys R Us and its iconic mascot. Toys R Us Studios President Kim Miller Olko served as executive producer and Kleverov acted as director on the project.

Imagine being able to capture and use the voice of your favorite celebrity or historical figure recreated with remarkable accuracy relative to the original.
This is the promise of voice cloning technology, a rapidly evolving field that is pushing the boundaries of what was once thought impossible. With the rise of artificial intelligence and advancements in machine learning, we now have the ability to synthesize human-like voices from relatively small samples of audio data.
However, as with any powerful technology, voice cloning also raises significant ethical and legal concerns. The potential for misuse, such as creating deepfake audios for malicious intent, is a real threat that must be addressed. Additionally, questions around privacy, consent, and the ownership of one's voice have yet to be fully resolved.
