NBC announced Wednesday that the network will use artificial intelligence to bring Al Michaels’ voice to the Paris Olympics.

Michaels, considered one of the great broadcasters in sports history, calls NFL games for Amazon, but his voice – or a version of it – will be used to narrate highlights for Peacock subscribers.

Michaels was “very skeptical” of the proposal until he heard it for himself.

“Frankly, it was astonishing,” Michaels told Vanity Fair. “It was amazing. And it was a little bit frightening.” Michaels said, per the report, it was “almost 2 percent off perfect.”

Per the release, the recaps “will provide fans with their own customized playlist featuring highlights of the events most relevant to them from the previous day” and are labeled as “Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock.” The recaps feature “a high-quality A.I. re-creation of Michaels’ voice” narrating the clips. The AI Michaels “was trained using his past appearances on NBC and matches his signature expertise and elocution.”

To receive “Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock,” fans can visit the Olympic hub and Home page of Peacock starting July 27 and opt into the types of highlights they would like to see, including their three favorite sports and preferred topics, such as behind-the-scenes and backstories, top competition, viral and trending moments, and a spotlight on international teams.

The first edition on July 27 will be highlights from the Opening Ceremony and starting July 28, after the first full day of events, personalized versions for each individual will be available.

“When I was approached about this, I was skeptical but obviously curious,” Michaels said in a released statement. “Then I saw a demonstration detailing what they had in mind. I said, ‘I’m in.’”
