Actress Rebecca Gayheart is sharing an emotional memory related to her former husband and actor Eric Dane.
The news is related to the moments shortly before his death last month. The star was best known for his roles in Grey's Anatomy, and he passed away after battling ALS.
Gayheart mentioned in more detail a powerful moment during Dane's final weeks when he heard about a digital recreation of his voice that was produced using AI.
Because ALS had slowly taken away his ability to speak, the star worked with an AI firm to preserve his voice using recordings of himself in the past. When the recreated version was finally played for him, the moment was deeply emotional for all those located in the same room.
As per Gayheart, Dane started to slowly get visibly moved when he heard about the AI version of his voice. The tech managed to capture his exact tone and speaking style, giving his family the chance to preserve a part of him forever.
