NBC Sports announced Wednesday that it will use the voice of Michaels, re-created using artificial intelligence, in a personalized daily recap of Summer Olympics events delivered to NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming service subscribers. Peacock users will be able to sign up and choose their favorite events. The information will be used to create "Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock," a customized program of video highlights narrated by Michaels' AI voice likeness. The AI re-creation of Michaels, 79, was trained by his past appearances on NBC Sports broadcasts. Michaels, who is currently the lead play-by-play announcer on Amazon's "Thursday Night Football," is also the voice of one the most famous Olympics moments in history.
