The ai is trained on recordings of his voice which they have not secured the rights to though.

Not really the case with the latest models, a couple of seconds of audio are enough to clone a voice, as you can essentially remix it from the all the other training data, you don't need that persons specific voice for training anymore. This is more a personal rights and trademark issue than a copyright one.

But isn't Attenborough's narration dependent on much more than what you can get from a few seconds? I imagine that you would also want to get the same narration style, e.g. how his voice/intonation relates to what's happening etc.
