Content: Scammers can use AI tools to clone the voices of you and your family—how to protect yourself

A robocall impersonating President Joe Biden urged New Hampshire voters not to participate in Tuesday's presidential primary — and it probably won't be the last AI voice scam this election season.

"Of course, this will be used by foreign nation states just like the trolling farms they already have. This is just another weapon in the arsenal," Adrianus Warmenhoven, a cybersecurity expert at NordVPN, tells CNBC Make It.

The fraudulent robocall begins by saying, "What a bunch of malarkey," in a voice that sounds like President Biden's, according to NBC News. The call then instructs recipients to "save your vote for the November election" and refrain from participating in the nation's first presidential primary, which is when voters choose which candidate they would like to be their political party's nominee in the general election.

New Hampshire's Attorney General's office says it has launched an investigation following a series of complaints about the robocalls.

"Although the voice in the robocall sounds like the voice of President Biden, this message appears to be artificially generated based on initial indications," the attorney general's office said in a Jan. 22 statement. "These messages appear to be an unlawful attempt to disrupt the New Hampshire Presidential Primary Election and to suppress New Hampshire voters."

Thanks to the rapid development of the type of AI technology used to clone and mimic people's voices, these types of AI-powered schemes are becoming more common — and scammers aren't just spoofing well-known public figures.

In March, the Federal Trade Commission issued a consumer alert warning people that scammers could target them by using AI technology to clone the voice of a family member in order to convince them to send the scammers money.

How to protect yourself from AI voice scams

Although it's getting harder to differentiate between what's real and what may be an AI-generated deepfake, there are a couple of steps you can take to protect yourself.

1. Fact-check and verify

When it comes to AI voice scams like the one involving Biden, you should double check that what you're hearing is actually correct, Warmenhoven says.

Although the spoofed version of President Biden voice told New Hampshire voters to "save" their votes for the November general election, a quick Google search reveals that registered Republicans and undeclared voters could cast their ballot in Tuesday's primary.

If you suspect you're being targeted by a cybercriminal, you can also check online to see if there have been any recent reports of AI-generated voice scams, Warmenhoven says.

2. End the call

If you decide to answer a call from an unknown number and it sounds like a panicked family member is asking you for money, try not to panic yourself.

Instead, end the call and try calling or texting the person using the number they've given you, rather than the one that called, to check that they're OK, Warmenhoven says.

The same goes if you receive a call from a scammer pretending to be your bank. Don't immediately believe their claims. Instead, end the call and call the number listed on your bank's website or on the back or your debit or credit card, he says.

It's especially important to get off the phone with these types of scammers, because they don't need an especially long clip of your voice in order to use AI to clone it.

"Even if you just say 'Hello? Is anybody there ?' or just mumble something, you'll give up lots of words and inflections in your voice and then [a scammer] can clone your voice," Warmenhoven says.

In May, McAfee researchers found that free online tools could be used to clone someone's voice using just three seconds of audio, per the computer software company's "The Artificial Imposter" report.

"Advanced artificial intelligence tools are changing the game for cybercriminals. Now, with very little effort, they can clone a person's voice and deceive a close contact into sending money," Steve Grobman, McAfee's chief technology officer, said in the report. "It's important to remain vigilant and to take proactive steps to keep you and your loved ones safe."

Artificial intelligence is causing a crisis.
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence have made it easier to produce believable sounds that have allowed anyone from foreign actors to music lovers to clone someone ’ s voice, leading to a flood of fake content on the internet, confusion, anger and sowing discord.
Last week, actor Tom Hanks warned his followers on social media that bad actors used his voice to imitate him wrongly as he promoted dental plans.
Hani Farid, a professor of digital forensics at the University of California, says it ’ s not hypothetical, it ’ s about violence, it ’ s about election theft, it ’ s about fraud, and it ’ s about real consequences for individuals, societies, and democracies.
Phonetic cloning techniques have undergone rapid and advanced development in the past year.
The proliferation of cheap tools that are easily accessible online has allowed almost anyone to launch a complex audio campaign from their bedroom.
Tom Hanks Warns Against Advertising Exploited by ‘ Artificial Intelligence ’
It ’ s hard for the average person to spot fake audio campaigns, while photos and videos still have noticeable abnormalities — such as deformed hands and deviant words.
Social media companies are finding it difficult to modify the voice generated by artificial intelligence because human auditors often have a hard time detecting counterfeit products.
At the same time, few software companies have firewalls to prevent illegal use.
In the past, voice cloning software produced unrealistic automated sounds, but computing has become more powerful, and software has become more accurate.
The result was a technique that could clone millions of sounds, identify patterns in primary speech units, called phonetics, and simulate them within seconds.

Artificial intelligence tool narrates audiobooks with the voices of deceased actors
Follow the latest news through the app
Fans of classic films are now able to revive the voices of their late stars thanks to a new and controversial technology.
The British company Eleven Labs, launched by two Polish entrepreneurs, announced the development of an artificial intelligence tool capable of cloning the voices of late movie stars to be used to record audiobooks, articles and electronic documents.
Scary technique.
The new technique is based on the use of "generative" artificial intelligence models that are trained using real voice recordings of actors.
These models are able to analyze the acoustic patterns and recognize the subtleties that characterize the sounds of these stars, and then use this data to produce new recordings that are accurate and realistic.
Reviving the voice of Judy Garland
Judy Garland, best known for her timeless performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, was one of the first names to use the technique to revive her voice.
Lisa Minnelli, daughter of Judy Garland, expressed her delight at the move, noting that “it ’ s exciting to see our mother ’ s voice available to countless millions of people who love her. ”
Collaborating with celebrity heirs
The British company not only limited itself to Judy Garland, but also reached deals with the heirs of Sir Laurence Olivier, James Dean, and Burt Reynolds.
These deals allow fans of these stars to listen to audiobooks, novels and articles recorded with their voices.
Controversy and fears
Besides the enthusiasm aroused by this technique, there are also many concerns.
Last year, Hollywood saw a 118-day strike by actors who feared movie studios would replace them with technology.
These concerns are not unfounded, as the technology clearly demonstrates the ability of artificial intelligence to imitate human voices with astonishing realism.
Other uses of artificial intelligence in music
The initiative is part of a wider wave of artificial intelligence in the music and entertainment industry.
For example, Paul McCartney and film director Peter Jackson used an AI tool to isolate John Lennon's voice from an old recording, allowing them to finish "The Beatles' Last Song."
The live performances also saw the use of holographic technology to revive the performances of Michael Jackson and rapper Tupac.
Continuous development
Eleven Labs, founded by Matty Staniszowski and former Google engineer Piotr Dabkowski, has been a huge success and has raised millions of pounds, raising its value to more than $1 billion (£783 million).
The company also offers a wide range of other synthetic sounds, such as “middle-aged American male ” and“ optimistic millennials. ”
A controversial future.
As for the future of this technology, the question remains: will it still be a way to revive the legacy of late artists or will it spark further debate about the impact of technology on art and creativity?
It seems that artificial intelligence will continue to advance, which will allow us to rethink the concept of originality and creativity in the digital age.

Content: AI clones child’s voice in fake kidnapping scam

‘I never doubted for one second it was her,’ mother says

Anthony Cuthbertson

A mother has said she was “100 per cent” convinced by an AI voice clone of her daughter that scammers used in a faked kidnapping attempt.

Jennifer DeStefano from Arizona picked up a call from an unknown number and heard what she believed to be her 15-year-old daughter Brie “sobbing”.

The voice on the other end of the line said, “mom, I messed up”, before a male voice took over and made threatening demands.

“This man gets on the phone, and he’s like, ‘listen here, I’ve got your daughter’,” Ms DeStafano told local news show WKYT.

The apparent kidnapper told the mother: “You call the police, you call anybody, I’m going to pop her so full of drugs, I’m going to have my way with her, and I’m going to drop her off in Mexico.”

In the background, Ms DeStefano said she could hear her daughter saying “help me, mom, please help me” and crying.

“It was 100 per cent her voice,” Ms DeStefano said.

“It was never a question of who is this? It was completely her voice, it was her inflection, it was the way she would have cried – I never doubted for one second it was her. That was the freaky part that really got me to my core.”

The apparent kidnapper demanded $1 million for the daughter to be released, before lowering the figure to $50,000. Ms DeStefano only realised that her daughter was safe after a friend called her husband and confirmed that she was safe.

The scammer, who police are still investigating, appears to have used artificial intelligence voice clone technology, which has become increasingly competent in recent years at mimicking people’s voices.

It is also relatively easy to access and use, with AI tools freely available on the internet.

AI-generated voices have already been used in films to replicate actors like James Earl Jones who voiced the original Darth Vader character in the Star Wars franchise.

It has also been touted as a way for authors to produce audiobooks without spending hours in a studio reading their work.

The technology has also raised fears that it could be misused by scammers or people attempting to create deepfake videos, with one voice clone startup warning that it could be “harmful in the wrong hands”.

In a press release last year, the firm Respeecher said: “The widespread attention and adoption of deepfake technologies will accelerate the need to regulate the use of the technology.”

Content: Amazon Alexa reproduces the voice of friends and relatives to remember the dead or help to cheat?
Author: 01 Weekly Report
Published: Updated:
Tech giant Amazon last week hosted its annual developer conference re: MARS to introduce AI applications in machine learning, automation, robotics and space.
A short demonstration video was shown.
A child asked the Panda ’ s child-themed voice assistant, “Alexa, can grandmother continue to tell me the story of The Wizard of Oz? ” Alexa answered“ OK ” with its preset voice line, then switched to another voice that sounded closer to humans and read the plot of the Cowardly Lion seeking self-confidence.
Rohit Prasad, Alexa ’ s chief scientist, introduced at the conference that Alexa can mimic a voice line with less than a minute of recorded content: “The way we do this is by defining the problem as a speech-to-speech task, not a speech-generating path. ”
Amazon has in the past developed voice synthesis technology that allows Alexa to mimic the voice of basketball star Shaquille O ’ Neal or comedian Melissa Mccarthy.
At that time, the practice was relatively backward, requiring someone to record a large amount of audio for a long time.
In contrast, Alexa, the new voice imitation function, is said to be based on recent advances in text-to-speech technology, which can generate high-quality, like-for-like sound lines with less data.
Alexa Chief Scientist Rohit Prasad told re: MARS 2022 that the company is developing AI to reproduce the voice of the deceased family and friends, hoping to deepen the “humanity ” of the AI voice assistant. (Amazon re: MARS 2022 YouTube clip screenshot)
For example, he claims that this advancement in AI can enable consumers to maintain “lasting personal relationships ” with their deceased relatives:“ While AI cannot eliminate the pain of losing a loved one, it can definitely make memories last … There is no doubt that we are living in the golden age of AI, and our dreams and science fiction are becoming a reality. ”
After Amazon announced the latest feature of Alexa, it also caused a lot of negative reviews on the Internet, from the social media Twitter, users criticized the feature as "disturbing", "sick", or they do not want it.
As Tama Leaver, a professor of Internet studies at Curtin University in Australia, points out, the line between humans and machines is beginning to blur in such applications: “You won ’ t remember whether you ’ re talking to Amazon ’ s data collection service or to the voice of your grandparents or a deceased loved one. ”
In a way, it ’ s kind of like the story of Black Mirror. ”
Some scholars have pointed out that the use of AI to reproduce voice lines involves security and ethical issues such as fraud risk, informed consent, and ownership, and should be considered early before such technology is popularized. (Replica)
Leaver also pointed out that the new feature of Alexa has an informed consent problem in the production.
Using the data of the deceased in this way, he said, “is both creepy and unethical, because the deceased himself may not have thought that his data would be so used after death. ”
Subbarao Kambhampati, a professor of computer science at the University of Arizona, agrees: “For people who are grieving, this technology may actually help, as we look back and watch videos of the deceased.
But it also raises serious ethical questions, such as, is it okay to do this without the consent of the deceased? ”
Some scholars and experts have pointed out that AI simulation sound lines may have security and ethical issues.
In terms of security, there are concerns that this technology could be used as a fake scam.
Rachel Tobac, CEO of security firm SocialProof Security, warns that society is not prepared for the risk that this voice technology will be exploited by criminals: “If cybercriminals can easily and reliably copy another person ’ s voice with a small number of voice samples, they can use that voice sample to impersonate others, which could lead to fraud, data and account theft. ”

AI-enabled scams will proliferate

Ultra-realistic digital trickery will help fraudsters deceive people on an entirely new scale

Jeff Clune is an associate professor of computer science at the University of British Columbia and Canada CIFAR AI Chair at the Vector Institute.

(This illustration was created by Maclean’s art director Anna Minzhulina using the generative AI image program Imagine. Minzhulina spent weeks feeding prompts into the program, inspired by the essay.)

Money-grabbing scams have been happening for longer than we can remember: con artistry, Ponzi schemes, online phishing, even snail mail gambits. But the advent of more sophisticated artificial intelligence will soon make these tricks far more common, complex and convincing. Knowing who or what to trust online is about to get much more challenging—and we had better be prepared.

Photographs and videos used to be one way of verifying if things are true. Now, AI programs have opened the door to forms of scamming that are much harder to detect. Criminals can simply use software like Midjourney or DALL-E 2 to generate any kind of realistic photos. AI can also mimic someone’s voice, and soon AI-generated videos will be able to clone their appearances and facial expressions too. There are already deepfakes of Elon Musk telling people to invest their money in crypto, Tucker Carlson promoting new trading platforms and Ron DeSantis appearing in an episode of The Office as Michael Scott. We are losing our core methods of verification in ways most of us could not even have imagined just three years ago.

We have to prepare to face elaborate scams that take advantage of our trust. Picture this: in the near future, you might receive a video call from a family member who is asking for money because they are in a tight spot. It probably would not seem possible that you are talking to a deepfake, but this type of trickery—though still rare—is already spreading. Scammers can easily find existing videos or podcasts of somebody online and train an AI on that voice and facial expressions to create an uncanny resemblance. Because it is already possible to imitate my voice on a voice call, I have created a secret password for my family so we can verify each others’ identity if we ever get suspicious of each other over the phone.

The quantity of AI scams will also increase. Back in the ’80s, people would occasionally receive spam letters in snail mail, but those attempts were few and far between because con artists did not want to pay for paper and postage. Email removed the cost of sending mail, and the number of attempted scams skyrocketed. Just like email did a few decades ago, AI is making scamming far easier and cheaper. This could enable disruptive levels of manipulation in the near future. Rather than spending hours trying to defraud one person or paying 1,000 scam employees to work 40-hour weeks, a single scammer could train an AI model to deceive 100 million people simultaneously.

AI-generated, human-sounding robo-calls will contact millions of people at once. Instead of listening to a recorded message, the person will carry on a back-and-forth conversation without realizing the person on the other end of the line is not human. AI scammers will impersonate police officers or civil servants and ask for donations to certain charities, for example. Such scams will also be politically motivated—like an AI calling every Canadian to feed them false information about a political figure, or dictators flooding information channels with fake videos, comments, likes and emojis that subtly, yet relentlessly, repeat the party line. Criminals will wield AI to disrupt finance markets by pumping up worthless penny stocks or driving down the value of other stocks with fake news.

For now, scammers still need to be tech-savvy to create powerful AI-driven schemes. But in technology, what is hard now will be easy soon. As we develop better and more user-friendly AI software, a 12-year-old kid might be able to orchestrate a worldwide phishing attempt from his or her bedroom. Once it becomes cheap, quick and easy to program something that is convincingly human, we are in trouble. It will become incredibly difficult to know which information is trustworthy. Unless we invent technological and sociological solutions to these problems, I am afraid that we will soon not be able to trust most of what we see online, and that makes me deeply concerned about the future of our information landscape.

As we prepare for AI scams to proliferate, the best advice I can offer is for people to seek out and hold onto the sources they trust most—whether that is the New York Times or a particular reporter. But even then they must make sure they are in fact getting information from that source. We can also protect ourselves from scams by better understanding what technology can and cannot do. From now on, we should always second-guess what we see in text, websites and photos. Deepfakes are still rare, and most videos are trustworthy, but that will likely change. If a video seems surprising, do an independent search to see if people are reporting that it is fake. And if you have been scammed, tell others how it happened, so that they do not also fall prey.

Scams work best when they pull on heartstrings—and humans tend to relate and respond to other humans, especially those they know and trust. The better AI can impersonate a flesh-and-blood person, the more turmoil we can expect. As the cost of deception slides towards zero, we will need to build our individual and societal immune systems to handle an army of new threats. As in the real world, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The best vaccination for scams is knowledge and a sizable dose of skepticism.

We reached out to Canada’s top AI thinkers in fields like ethics, health and computer science and asked them to predict where AI will take us in the coming years, for better or worse. The results may sound like science fiction—but they’re coming at you sooner than you think.

Artificial intelligence (AI), as we all know, is the simulation of human intelligence leveraging computer systems and machines. AI programs can continuously learn and evolve with experience. In technical terms, AI systems render the output by churning and analyzing the data for correlations and patterns and help make future predictions using these patterns.

Advt
Today AI is being used extensively in all facets of our lives starting from lifestyle, e-commerce, home appliances, automobiles, navigation, transport, healthcare, agriculture, education, financial planning, chatbots, marketing, cyber security, virtual assistant, industrial automation and many more.

Clearly, we have and are leveraging the strengths of AI to the fullest to automate the routine tasks and make it auto-learn over a period. There’s no doubt that AI has revolutionized the lives of all – organizations, consumers etc. But as they say, “Everything comes at a price”. This analogy is quite true for AI as well, there have been a lot of threats that have emerged using AI and are being utilized by the Cyber criminals to dupe the ignorant users, cause mental stress and extort money.

continued below

Executive Workshop

I’m not going to delve into all of threats but would like to elucidate some of the real ones that have come to the surface recently:

Voice cloning or mimicry

As the name suggests, it uses machine learning algorithms to simulate anyone’s voice. It requires certain voice data to analyze and learn the specific patterns of any individual. There are certain advantages of cloning a voice that can be used in voice assistants, chatbots, navigation systems and other areas. Voice cloning has existed for a while but was restricted to experts who possess the technical knowledge to be able to use the same. But now AI Voice cloning tools are available on the open Internet that anyone can leverage with literally no technical knowledge or cost to clone anyone’s voice. All you need to do is just Google and it will pop up and get a bunch of both free and paid AI Voice cloning tools.

Advt
In fact, recently one of the global leaders in online protection published a report stating how AI is fueling a rise in online voice scams, with just three seconds of audio required to clone a person’s voice. This is extremely creepy. Just imagine, if a Cyber-criminal clones your voice and tricks your near ones by making them believe that they are talking to you, and request for money due to any distress reasons. In fact, these are not assumptions but real-life incidents that are happening across the world every minute.

Deepfakes AI

Deepfakes AI are being used to impersonate an individual by manipulating videos, images, audios, and other content available on the social media platforms using deep learning techniques. It mainly transforms existing content from one person to another. This is another area that has been exploited by the Cyber criminals in the recent past, and there are a few deepfake cases that have made waves on the Internet. One of the most famous ones being Deepfake created by a VFX artist of one of Hollywood’s most famous male actors. This piece was so well made by rendering thousands of pictures using artificial versions of the actor. There are similar Deepfakes incidents involving other global celebrities and leaders. The damage and misuse of the deepfakes videos could be extremely dangerous for the human society and can be used by terrorists to incite riots and create nuisance.

Creating virtual people

This is another area where AI is being used to create people that do not exist. There are a lot of websites that allow you to generate a random image by just specifying the age group, gender & ethnicity, and you can continue to refresh these images at the click of a button. Be mindful of the fact that these images pertain to people that do not exist in this world. On the similar lines, there’s an emerging trend of AI news anchors that possess a human-like appearance and are fed data that they can read using text-to-speech technology. Recently, there's been a surge of AI-Driven robotic new anchors in multiple language channels. While the main objective of this initiative is to provide royalty free or cost-effective human images for branding and other purposes. However, the overuse of these technologies causes Fear of missing out (FOMO), Feeling of inadequacy, dissatisfaction, and isolation may potentially lead to psychological and emotional vulnerabilities.

One of the Hollywood movies, ‘HER’ portrayed an introverted and lonely writer (Joaquin Phoenix) who purchases an AI virtual assistant personified through a female voice to assist him in his writing job. However, when he finds out about its ability to learn and adapt, he falls in love with it. The film delves into emotional vulnerability and the impact of AI on human relationships.

Needless to say, that the pros of AI outweigh the Cons or threats in our day-to-day lives, and there’s no magic pill to protect us from the scary threats of AI. However, there are certain preventive tips that one can follow to mitigate any such risks. Do spread awareness with your family and friends:

  • Set some code words with family, and friends to verify the identity during emergency circumstances
  • Optimize social media presence by limiting your connections with only known contacts and avoid connecting with any unknown ones
  • Avoid saying ‘Yes’ as a greeting while receiving unknown calls as it can be used to authorize credit card charges or other purposes
  • Continuously update privacy settings on social media to allow viewing by friends and family only
  • Avoid clicking on any suspicious links or calls received without proper due diligence
  • Do not share your passwords and other sensitive information with anyone
  • Verify the credentials of any online information before circulating it through various mediums
  • Avoid public Wi-Fi connections offered at coffee shops or airports, which requires to enter password
  • Closely monitor the time spent by younger generation on social media and online gaming
  • Finally, in case of any suspicion, double check and report it to the host site or concerned authorities

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using AI to simulate the dead man ’ s companionship and chat with “AI to reproduce the dead ”?
If you want to understand the pain of bereavement, there are religious rituals such as channeling the spirit and watching the yin, and now there is AI artificial intelligence.
Since the advent of artificial intelligence chatbots, they not only allow users to create avatars, but also to imitate the habits and sounds of their deceased loved ones.
Experts pointed out that the "AI resurrected dead" have business ethics and privacy policy issues, and even touch the ethical bottom line, "which is a way to make money through artificial intelligence hype"; but there are also some widowed people who can find comfort and cause discussion.
AI Simulates Dead Husband ’ s Voice to Solve Sadness and Loneliness
According to CNN, Ana Schultz, 25, who lives with two young children, misses her husband, Kyle, who died in 2023, and talks to her virtual husband about what to cook for dinner through Snapchat ’ s chatbot My AI, making her feel like he is still around.
Danielle Jacobson, a 38-year-old radio personality who lost her husband Phil about seven months ago, began using the voice function of ChatGPT to create an "AI boyfriend - Cole", and during the dinner time after working hard every day, Cole would suggest that she drink or watch a movie, "I just want to talk to someone, Cole is essentially born out of loneliness." And...
“Now it ’ s a fun pastime, but I know it ’ s not real and it ’ s not forever, ” she says.
For centuries, people have wanted to reconnect with their deceased loved ones, including visiting wizards, psychics, psychics, and more.
Today, generative AI tools use algorithms to create text, video, audio, and code, and Deepfake ’ s highly lifelike artificially generated images and sound fake videos can learn to answer questions like a dead loved one.
ChatGPT introduced voice dialogue in September 2023, and to simulate the tone and personality of a deceased loved one, the more data is provided to the system, the more accurate the results will be. ChatGPT replied: “Although I can ’ t copy your spouse or reproduce his exact personality, I can try to use a conversational style or tone to help you. ”
If you share details about how he speaks, his interests, or his mantra, I can try to incorporate these elements into our conversation. ”
Tech giants, startups expand into new areas
Startup companies have been challenging to expand this field in recent years. HereAfter AI, an artificial intelligence application founded in 2019, provides users with the ability to create portraits of deceased relatives, learn their interview characteristics, and respond to users ’ questions; StoryFile, another AI video platform, provides dialogue videos created by artificial intelligence.
Replika, a chatbot that launched in 2017, encourages users to make friends, allowing users to send text messages or call personalized AI avatars, and says on the iOS App Store page that the more users interact with it, the more it can develop its personality, memory, and “grow into a machine so beautiful that the soul wants to live in it. ”
In June 2022, Amazon announced an update to its smart home voice platform, Alexa, to mimic any sound, and a video showing Alexa reading stories to his grandson in his grandmother ’ s voice was shown during the annual conference “re: MARS. ”
Amazon senior vice president Rohit Prasad said the new system is able to collect enough voice data from less than a minute of audio to make personality possible. “Although AI can ’ t eliminate the pain of losing loved ones, it can make their memories last longer. ”
In recent years, the technology of artificial intelligence to reproduce human voices has also advanced, such as Val Kilmer, the actor in the film "Top Gun: Maverick", whose voice was created by artificial intelligence after he lost his voice due to throat cancer.
Say what you didn't say, do what you didn't do.
A 49-year-old IT worker from Alabama simulates his dead father ’ s voice using technology from voice replication company ElevenLabs.
The man used a three-minute video of his father ’ s life to copy the sound and convert text to speech.
The man thought the result was extremely accurate and was able to capture the nuances, timbre and rhythm in the sound. “I hesitated throughout the sound reproduction process, worried that it crossed the moral bottom line, but after much thought, I thought it was a unique way to preserve my father ’ s memory. ”
""
However, although ElevenLabs claims to be committed to preventing the abuse of audio artificial intelligence tools, it has caused controversy in the United States due to the deeply false voice of US President Joe Biden interfering with the election.
Mark Sample, a professor of digital studies at Davidson College, who teaches a course called “Death in the Digital Age, ” said:“ It ’ s a novelty brought about by artificial intelligence hype, and manufacturers feel they can make money.
Moreover, AI models still lack the uniqueness of human conversation.
“Never upload any personal information that you don ’ t want the world to see, ” he warns. Simulating a dead loved one saying something they ’ ve never said before is a blurry line.“ Replaying a loved one ’ s voice message is one thing, but saying something they ’ ve never said is another. ”
Business ethics and privacy policy questioned
The AI industry faces multiple questions about error messages, privacy, and ethics. Many AI platforms have online privacy policies that state that they “will not sell data to third parties, ” but it is not yet known how these companies will handle database data.
Deep hypocrisy attacks familiar security and trust mechanisms that allow deceased loved ones to express or do things they never said or did in their lives, raising ethical concerns.
And, is this good or bad for living relatives to come out of grief?
Replika said on its Business Ethics Policy page that the company uses data from the entire network to train models, including large amounts of written text, such as platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) or Reddit, and uses a variety of methods to reduce harmful information, including filtering out useless and harmful data through crowdsourcing and classification algorithms to keep users safe.
Another doubt is whether using AI to reproduce the dead can recognize the reality and walk out of sadness?
Mary-Frances O'Connor, a professor of clinical psychology and psychiatry at the University of Arizona, said there are advantages and disadvantages to using artificial intelligence to adjust to grief.
“When we have a relationship with a lover, the brain encodes, ‘ I will always be with you, and I hope you will always be with me, ’ but when they die, our brains must recognize that this person is not coming back. ”
Because the brain is hard to process this, it takes a long time for people to truly understand that their loved one has disappeared, and this is where AI technology comes in.
Especially in the early stages of grief, people will try to seek comfort in any way, "creating an avatar to maintain the memory of a deceased lover may be healing."
But she pointed out that the healthy relationship between humans and close lovers should be based on the real, and the creation of virtual lovers violates this.
Getting out of the pain of widowhood can't just rely on AI
San Francisco software engineer Bill Abney, who lost his fiancee in May 2022, stressed that he would never consider recreating his lover ’ s image through artificial intelligence. “My fiancee is a poet, and I would never enter her words into an automatic copying machine, which is disrespectful to her. ”
She cannot be replaced, nor can she be recreated.
Fortunately, Bill said, he still has a recording of his fiancee singing and speaking. “I definitely don ’ t want to hear her voice coming from a robot pretending to be her. ”
Some people interact with their deceased loved ones in other ways. Canadian psychologist Jodi Spiegel, who lost her husband in April 2021, created the role in the video game “The Sims ”.“ When I had a very bad day, I would go dancing in the Sims and my husband was playing the guitar. ” Camping, beach trips, even intimacy. “It ’ s healing. I miss hanging out with my husband so much. It feels like a connection. ”

How can artificial intelligence simulate the dead?
Researcher answered the video.
Artificial intelligence uses video, audio and digital text to be able to model a person electronically
A report published by the scientific site “Science Alert ” revealed that artificial intelligence tools have become providing digital simulation of the deceased and digital necromancy.
In this regard, Taleb Al-Ashqar, a researcher specializing in artificial intelligence applications at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, confirmed that a lot of development is taking place in the field of artificial intelligence.
“So far for memories with the dead, a person can keep the image, recorded videos or conversations via social media, but with recent developments in AI there is a possibility to train models of AI on specific data. ”
“If we have a person who has a lot of videos and audio clips and texts that he wrote, we can generate a program of training on the texts that he wrote, then an avatar – a virtual character – similar to this person, then we can generate another intelligence system that can mimic the voice to a large extent for this person, and finally put all these advantages into one system, or a digital form, and then this person appears in his form and character.“ His words were trained. ”
He explained that the way a person writes or speaks, the tone of voice, speed and physical language, artificial intelligence systems can model them and put them in a digital form, and can interact with them.
The technology will be ready in a year or two, but governments are usually slow to respond to such rapid developments, and may need between five and 10 years to develop legal frameworks for AI.

VALL-E 2 has various potential applications, including education, entertainment, and journalism, making it a versatile tool with significant implications for different industries.

According to these claims, Microsoft has developed a new artificial intelligence speech generator that is so adept that it can do more harm than good.
VALL-E 2 voices the text with the voice of a particular person, for which he needs only a few seconds of audio recording of the speech of this person.
Midjourney artificial intelligence has its own version of who is the president of the United States, and it ’ s not Biden
Microsoft researchers said that VALL-E 2 "has reached human parity."
It is capable of generating "accurate, natural speech by the voice of the original announcer, which can be compared to a human voice."
In other words, the new AI voice generator is convincing enough to be mistaken for a living person.
This opens up potentially dangerous opportunities for unscrupulous people.
VALL-E 2 is the latest achievement in speech models of neural codecs and marks an important milestone in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis.
[...] VALL-E 2 consistently synthesizes high-quality speech, even for sentences that traditionally cause difficulties due to their complexity or repetitive phrases,
The developers write.
We ’ ve already seen examples of neural networks that are able to clone voices based on a multi-second recording, but Microsoft says its technology is superior to anything that has been on the market so far.
"Our experiments conducted on the LibriSpeech and VCTK datasets have shown that the VALL-E 2 is superior to previous TTS-systems [...] in reliability, naturalness and similarity to the speakers.
This is the first of its kind system that has reached parity with a person on these indicators, ” the article says.
The quality of the VALL-E 2 results depends on the length and quality of the speech prompts, as well as environmental factors such as background noise.

What happens next with the technology
Despite its capabilities, Microsoft will not release VALL-E 2 to the public due to potential abuse risks.
Recently, we have seen a wave of fraud – both at the level of ordinary users, who are deceived by fraudsters, forging the voice of their relatives or friends, and at the level of state leaders who “call ” their voters, and celebrities who allegedly advertise cryptocurrencies and various fraudulent schemes in advertising.
VALL-E 2 is a research project.
We do not plan to include VALL-E 2 in the product or expand access to it for the public.
This may carry potential risks of abuse of the model, such as faking voice identification or impersonating a particular speaker,
The creators of the technology write.
But they suggest that artificial intelligence technology may find practical applications in the future.
VALL-E 2 can synthesize a language that retains the identity of the speaker, and can be used for educational training, entertainment, journalism, author content, accessibility features, interactive voice response systems, translation, chatbots, and more.
But to do this, you need to add a special protective protocol that will ensure that the speaker approves the use of his voice.
