Lex Fridman And PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently appeared on Lex Fridman’s podcast, where he shared insights on artificial intelligence (AI), leadership, diplomacy, and India’s role in AI innovation.
The conversation, released on Sunday, March 16, was enhanced using AI-powered voice cloning technology to improve accessibility and reach.
The podcast was dubbed by US-based startup ElevenLabs, which specializes in AI voice cloning. This technology maintained the authenticity of PM Modi’s and Fridman’s voices, preserving their intonations, emotions, and speech style even in translations.
Currently, the podcast is available in Hindi, English, and Russian, with more languages expected to be added soon. The original version, featuring a mix of Hindi and English, is also accessible.
Mati Staniszewski, co-founder of ElevenLabs, expressed pride in their work, stating that the company was founded due to poor-quality dubbing and has since evolved into an immersive AI-driven experience.
“Inspired by Lex Fridman and Narendra Modi’s conversation—so proud of our team for making it accessible in both English and Hindi,” Staniszewski wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The three-hour discussion covered PM Modi’s journey from childhood to becoming India’s Prime Minister and addressed topics such as:
Leadership & Diplomacy
India’s Democratic Framework
Economic Development & Poverty
US President Donald Trump & India-US Relations
China & Geopolitics
2002 Gujarat Riots
Speaking about artificial intelligence, PM Modi emphasized that AI cannot function effectively without genuine human intelligence. He described AI as a collaborative tool rather than a replacement for human intellect.
“No matter what the world does with AI, it will remain incomplete without India. I’m making this statement very responsibly,” he remarked, highlighting India’s significant contributions to AI development.
According to ElevenLabs, AI voice cloning uses deep learning technology to replicate a speaker’s unique voice characteristics. This enables seamless translation and dubbing while maintaining the original tone and emotion, making content more accessible to global audiences.
