00:0020 years later, a clue emerges.
00:04At the age of 8, Dirk Mayer was in a recording studio for the first time.
00:08Since then, he has been passionate about the profession of voice actor.
00:12But what will happen to him in the long term is so unclear,
00:15that I have to see if I can make a living from this job for another 15 years.
00:19I'm just unsure about that now.
00:21Because artificial intelligence threatens his job.
00:24Mayer is not alone in this.
00:26So the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs always predicts the year 2035,
00:32So in 10 years, almost every job will actually be permeated by AI.
00:38It is important to make a clear distinction.
00:40In many jobs, only individual tasks are expected to be replaced by AI.
00:46But some industries, such as voice acting, could be hit particularly hard.
00:50It is already possible to have an AI create an audio from a text with just a few clicks.
00:5820 years later, a clue emerges.
01:02A single name.
01:04From the perspective of voice actors, this means...
01:07It is certainly only a matter of time before AI can credibly depict emotions.
01:12I can't judge how well it will be. Time will tell.
01:15But I don't think we need to fool ourselves about that.
01:18If it really works, then nobody will hire dubbing artists anymore,
01:22but then it will be done with AI.
01:25But until then, Meier won’t let the joy of tuning be taken away from him.
