Meta announced a new AI model called Voicebox yesterday, one it says is the most versatile yet for speech generation, but it’s not releasing it yet: The model is still only a research project, but Meta says can generate speech in six languages from samples as short as two seconds and could be used for “natural, authentic” translation in the future, among other things.

One thing I am hoping for with "AI" tech is to have better language teaching software. It would be crazy to have an AI teacher correct you mid conversation or be able to adapt to what you are struggling with.
