EA Used AI To Clone John Buccigross’ Voice In NHL 27
Electronic Arts used generative AI to simulate ESPN personality John Buccigross's voice in NHL 27, a fact that was not disclosed prior to launch. While Buccigross found the AI-generated lines to be "pretty good" and expressed enthusiasm for potential work-saving benefits, he noted instances where human correction was needed due to inaccuracies. EA CEO Andrew Wilson is a strong proponent of AI in game development for increased efficiency.
