Abstract

Despite the abundance of quality Chinese audiobooks, few are recognized in the international market. The international audiobook market, often overlooked by China's audiobook industry, presents a primary issue: the lack of international platforms for Chinese audiobooks. The internationalization of China's audiobook industry faces challenges like low adaptability, platform mismanagement, and stagnant talent development. From a platform infrastructure perspective, generative AI empowers the international growth of Chinese audiobooks by enhancing quality and market adaptability, and assisting in platform building and management. In talent development, generative AI provides scenario-based dialogues to improve audio expression skills and train international audio expression thinking. Additionally, the participation of cultural transmitters like foreign influencers and international students should be emphasized, alongside professional talent cultivation and standardized management.
