Voice cloning technology is a rapidly developing field that enables the creation of highly realistic and accurate replicas of human voices, raising concerns about its potential misuse and ethical implications.

This technology uses artificial intelligence to produce cloned voices, which can be used in various applications, including entertainment, accessibility, and education.

The development of voice cloning technology has also raised concerns about the potential for misuse, such as creating fake audio content that can be used to scam or deceive people.

In fact, real-world examples of the misuse of voice cloning technology include the cloning of Tom Hanks' voice to promote dental plans and the use of Drake's voice without consent in deep voice falsification.

The technology requires only a small audio sample, sometimes as little as 3 seconds, to train the model and create a cloned voice.

This has raised concerns about the potential for scams and misinformation, as well as the need for regulation and caution in the use of this technology.

Eleven Labs has developed voice cloning technology using AI models, and the company has been valued at over $1 billion after raising millions of dollars in funding.

The company's technology can be used to narrate audiobooks with the voices of deceased actors, and deals have been reached with the heirs of Sir Laurence Olivier and other notable figures.

However, the use of voice cloning technology raises concerns about the potential for AI to replace human actors and voices, as well as the need for regulation and protection of intellectual property.

OpenAI has introduced a tool called Voice Engine, which can clone voices in 15 seconds using a small audio sample.

The tool uses AI to voice texts with any person's voice, and it retains the natural accent of the speaker even in translation.

However, developers fear that the tool can be used to create deepfakes, highlighting the need for caution and regulation in the use of this technology.

The development of voice cloning technology has also raised concerns about personal information security and the potential for abuse.

As the technology continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see new applications and uses for voice cloning, as well as new challenges and concerns.

The legal implications of voice cloning technology are still being explored, but it is clear that the technology raises significant concerns about consent, intellectual property, and the potential for misuse.

Overall, voice cloning technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with each other and with technology, but it also requires careful consideration of its potential risks and implications.

The use of voice cloning technology for generating Listening Comprehension materials at low proficiency levels has the potential to improve language learning outcomes, but also raises ethical challenges and concerns about misuse.

To mitigate these risks, it is essential to implement strict regulations, such as requiring explicit consent for all voices copied by Voice Engine, and to develop technologies to track audiovisual content.

Ultimately, the potential risks and challenges associated with using voice cloning technology for generating Listening Comprehension materials can be mitigated through a combination of strict regulations, security measures, and ethical considerations.

The development and use of voice cloning technology must be done in a way that respects creators' rights and protects intellectual property.

Technical supervision is necessary to prevent abuse and protect personal privacy, and restrictions on use are needed in sensitive areas like finance and medicine.

Transparency and user consent are required for the use of voice cloning technology, and certification mechanisms can ensure only accredited institutions use these technologies.

Public awareness and education are necessary to minimize potential hazards associated with voice cloning technology.

Research on detecting and preventing abuse is crucial for the responsible development of voice cloning technology.

Critical thinking is needed to recognize and combat deepfakes and voice cloning, and several projects are underway to make voice cloning accessible to non-professionals.

Phone-based phishing techniques are rising with voice cloning technology, and voice cloning can be used to create disinformation and fake content.

AI voice cloning can simulate voices with 15-30 seconds of speech, and voice cloning software can create models for voices without external interference.

AI-developed voices can be used in new content, even in foreign languages, but this raises concerns about intellectual property and consent.

Musicians' voices have been reproduced without charge in works of art, and actors are concerned about the use of their studio images with voice cloning.

Voice cloning technology can be used for efficient customer service agents, but it also poses risks of impersonation.

The quality of voice cloning technology depends on speech prompt length and quality, and it can be used for accessibility features and translation.

Overall, the use of voice cloning technology in educational settings requires careful consideration of ethical and legal implications, including consent, intellectual property, and responsible use.

Voice cloning technology is a rapidly developing field that enables the creation of highly realistic and accurate replicas of human voices, raising concerns about its potential misuse and ethical implications.

Content: OpenAI's Johansson gaffe pushes voice cloning into spotlight

Law enforcement warned that AI clones could be used to extort money from loved ones over the phone

Scarlett Johansson voiced an AI character in the film "Her". — Reuters file

Published: Mon 27 May 2024, 7:51 PM

Last updated: Mon 27 May 2024, 7:52 PM

OpenAI was forced to apologise to actor Scarlett Johansson last week for using her voice -- or something very similar -- on its latest chatbot, throwing the spotlight on to voice-cloning tech.

Although OpenAI denied the voice they used was Johansson's, their case was not helped by CEO Sam Altman flagging the new model with a one-word message on social media -- "Her".

Johansson voiced an AI character in the film "Her", which Altman has previously said is his favourite film about the technology.

Right from the start, AI voice cloning has proved problematic.

Last year, British firm Elevenlabs went viral for all the wrong reasons when it released its voice-cloning software.

Internet pranksters immediately began pushing out deepfaked celebrities -- Harry Potter star Emma Watson was shown reading Hitler's Mein Kampf.

Law enforcement warned that AI clones could be used to extort money from loved ones over the phone.

The technology has developed rapidly in the past year becoming far more realistic and nuanced.

Danish entrepreneur Victor Riparbelli, CEO of British AI firm Synthesia, told AFP it was largely down to a program called Tortoise that was released two years ago.

The program's developers threw thousands of hours of voice data into their model in an unstructured way and discovered it not only learnt what to say but how to say it.

"That was a pretty big paradigm shift," Riparbelli said on the sidelines of last week's VivaTech conference in Paris.

Tortoise was an open source program and Elevenlabs was the first to go to market using it.

OpenAI uses similar systems though they do not release any details.

Much of the controversy around voice cloning has focused on concerns over people misusing the software.

But the claim against OpenAI is unusual because it is the company itself accused of playing fast and loose.

"It was very unfortunate that OpenAI did that -- really not very good," Katya Laine, CEO of TALKR.ai, told AFP at VivaTech.

"If they actually cloned her voice without her knowing then I think that's very very bad," said Riparbelli.

The two entrepreneurs are among hundreds harnessing AI voice programs for uses that they argue will make companies more efficient.

Laine's firm provides virtual voice assistants -- essentially AI customer service agents.

She said her firm's system could now resolve 25 to 30 percent of calls without any human involvement.

Synthesia specialises in video avatars, which Riparbelli said allowed any office worker to turn text or slides into a video performed by a realistic AI.

Both Riparbelli and Laine allow their clients to use their own avatars, off-the-shelf products or those supplied by the likes of OpenAI and Elevenlabs.

Riparbelli said Synthesia used actors whose likenesses and voices were licensed for two years with an option to renew after the initial period.

The problems arise if actors' voices are used without their consent.

The fiasco overshadowed a developer conference in Paris last week when OpenAI was showing off a suite of new tools.

In front of a big screen in an auditorium, Romain Huet, OpenAI's Head of Developer Experience, breezily chatted into his phone.

Seconds later, his short voice sample had been processed and could be heard commentating over a generated video -- in five languages.

The demonstration showed how quickly the field is moving, but the headlines had already been written.

The Washington Post asked in a newsletter "How dumb is OpenAI?", other commentators were suggesting wunderkind Altman was nothing more than a huckster.

Nonetheless, Riparbelli was open to OpenAI's argument that they had used another actor who just sounded liked Johansson.

"If it's not her but someone who sounds a lot like her... where do you draw that line," Riparbelli asked.

"If they're not allowed to use someone who sounds a lot like her, then it sets a very odd precedent."

To copy the voice of one of the characters, it is enough to collect a few minutes of his speech, without any external interference.
The software then creates a model of his voice, allowing it to be used in new content, even in foreign languages.

A French videographer uses Deep Vike to simulate the voices of current and late politicians who are engaged in live dialogue with users on Twitch, including French President Emmanuel Macron and two of his famous predecessors, Charles de Gaulle and Jacques Chirac.
Anis Ayari, an AI engineer and owner of a scientific simplification YouTube channel called Defend Intelligence, was behind his “deep fakes ” as satirical content.
But the experience took on negative dimensions on Tuesday, when a netizen asked an alleged Macron what the worst name was for a French village, and artificial intelligence answered “La Mort-aux-Juifs ” (French for“ Death to Jews ”), a small village in the Lauret region of central France that was renamed in 2015.
This led to the immediate blocking of the canal.
The channel ’ s owner wrote in a message on the platform X (formerly Twitter) that he had filed an appeal against the decision and relaunched the live streaming sessions on the rival platform Kick.com.
Months ago, this expert, who promotes virtual “assistants ” to companies, also used deep fakes to get the French president to sing his voice a song by famous singer Charles Aznavour.
He revealed in a video the techniques he adopted in this video trick.
Finally, Ayari began to clone historical or other current figures such as Elon Musk, engaging them in “discussions ” with current political players.
Anis Ayari says, “We will simulate a political debate and we will see where we get on this. ”
To copy the voice of one of the characters, it is enough to collect a few minutes of his speech, without any external interference.
The software then creates a model of his voice, allowing it to be used in new content, even in foreign languages.
“If we have 15 to 30 seconds of good quality, we start to get remarkable results.
There is no longer any need for knowledge in computer programming. ”
Ayari launched an appeal to fund the live broadcast of his version of the French president.
Ayari asserts that using different information services costs him about 150 euros per day.
Tradition, however, has its limits, as the movement of the lips shows some loopholes.
Faced with absurd questions from some netizens, Emmanuel Macron in the fake version gives strange answers, for example, “The pension system is out of my programming.
Let ’ s talk about more fun topics. ”
As the French president says in the AI-developed version, “My statement about my assets has the same credibility as the promises of a politician in his election campaign. ”
“There was a boom in vote generation last year, and it ’ s accelerating. ”
Several projects are currently underway that allow non-professionals to practice deep fakes in China, South Korea and Japan, where mimicking the sounds of manga characters is popular.
On Twitch ’ s “Trump or Biden 2024, ” two AI-developed versions of current US President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, engaged in a long summer exchange that continues under the watchful eye of hundreds of netizens who can launch topics for discussion in writing.
Musicians have also paid a price for these technologies, as their voices have been reproduced in works of art without charge.
Actors, for their part, are concerned about the use of their images from studios, and the cybersecurity community is seeing a rise in phone-based phishing techniques.
But should we fear a new wave of disinformation using these techniques?
Anis al-Ayari answers, “The more people realize [the spread of deep fakes], the more critical they feel. ”
He says through his channels that the content he publishes is “satirical. ”

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.

How does artificial intelligence influence celebrity voices?
The rapper Drake is one of the artists whose voices have been used in the so-called deep falsification of the voice without their consent.
Technically, it is easy.
But is it legal and moral?

The technology requires only a small audio sample, sometimes as little as 3 seconds, to train the model and create a cloned voice.

Now, software can replicate your boss’s voice and tell you what to do

HTML EMBED:

"Deepfake" audio technology is here, and scammers are taking advantage.

If you’re listening to or have already listened to the beginning of this episode, you probably noticed that the voice introducing Kimberly Adams sounded a bit off, right?

That’s because it’s an audio “deepfake,” and it was created by Yisroel Mirsky at the Offensive AI Research Lab through a process called voice cloning.

It uses software to study a short sample of someone’s voice and create a deepfake, which in this case took only 15 seconds to generate, according to Mirsky.

It’s far from a perfect replica, but it turns out that scammers recently started to use deepfake audio for telephone scams and in some cases have succeeded.

Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams recently spoke with Kyle Alspach, a cybersecurity reporter with Protocol, about how the tech behind audio deepfakes works and how they’re being used in phone scams. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.

Kyle Alspach: The technology involves having [artificial intelligence], deep learning, and it takes an audio sample of someone’s voice. It can be as little as three seconds, and it trains itself on the way that this person sounds. And it creates a model that can then be used to replicate that person’s voice. The current way that it works is you have to use text to speech, which is just you type in a phrase, and then it speaks using the cloned voice.

Kimberly Adams: How are these audio deepfakes being used in scams?

Alspach: So they’re, at least we know, being used to target businesses at this point, especially larger businesses. Someone will call up pretending to be someone else with someone else’s voice, typically some kind of executive or someone’s boss, and ask them to transfer funds or ask them for password credentials, that kind of thing. And in some cases, they have been successful.

Adams: Do you have a sense of how common audio deepfakes are now? And where do experts in the industry see it going?

Alspach: You know, among the larger businesses, I think more and more of them are starting to see these because they’re really ripe targets for this kind of thing. But right now, I don’t think that it’s something that a lot of people are seeing, but it is the beginning of this kind of technology being used in this way.

Adams: What do cybersecurity experts suggest that regular people or businesses do to avoid falling for these deepfake audio scams?

Alspach: For business purposes, for instance, if you’re going to transfer money, you might want to add some additional steps to that process and involve someone saying some kind of challenge phrase or something like that, that everyone’s agreed on beforehand, [to] prevent that from happening. But the biggest thing is just to be aware that it might happen to you and to pay attention when someone calls you up and make sure that it actually sounds the way you would expect, and they are asking you for things that they normally would be asking you for. It’s really at this point kind of a low-tech approach to defending against this kind of thing. But really, it’s just creating the possibility in your mind of this happening. And I guess, unfortunately, you kind of have to become more skeptical now when people call you up.

You can read more of Alspach’s reporting on audio deepfakes here.

Yisroel Mirsky told us that the tech he used to generate the deepfake audio for Alspach’s article, and for our show, is “relatively old.”

Alspach also mentioned in his piece that there is an open-source voice cloning tool online that anyone — even scammers can download and potentially use.

But as we found out, getting that software to work isn’t a simple process of downloading and hitting the Install button.

Tech barriers can stop you at a number of steps in the process. Like, if you don’t know the coding language Python or if your computer isn’t powerful enough, you’ll likely be unable to use it, as our producer Daniel Shin discovered.

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.

What company created an AI tool that could mimic the voices of deceased movie stars?

The company's technology can be used to narrate audiobooks with the voices of deceased actors, and deals have been reached with the heirs of Sir Laurence Olivier and other notable figures.

Eleven Labs is extending its voice cloning services for which industries?

However, the use of voice cloning technology raises concerns about the potential for AI to replace human actors and voices, as well as the need for regulation and protection of intellectual property.

OpenAI has introduced a new tool based on artificial intelligence Voice Engine, capable of voicing texts with the voice of any person.
This is on the OpenAI website.
In particular, having a 15-second sample of the sound of speech, the instrument can reproduce the voice of any person.
Voice Engine has the same AI model underlying the “read aloud ” feature of ChatGPT chatbot.
The tool is offered to be used to translate videos and podcasts.
Voice Engine retains the natural accent of the speaker even in translation.
Also, the developers note that Voice Engine can help people who can not read or children in learning, since natural sound is better perceived than robotic voices.
Voice Engine can be used to restore voice to patients with impaired speech apparatus.
People will be able to communicate by voicing their text queries in natural language thanks to the tool, added to OpenAI.
OpenAI created the Voice Engine in late 2022, but there is no public access to it yet.
Developers fear that it can be used to create deepfakes.

Speech cloning raises concerns, OpenAI again explains its text-to-speech tool
2024 / 6 / 10 9: 57: 21 Source: IT House Author: Yuanyang Editor: Yuanyang
OpenAI explained its text-to-speech tool for the second time in a few months, and again stressed that the tool is not currently widely available and may not be available in the future.
“Whether or not we end up deploying this technology at scale, it ’ s important for people around the world to understand where it ’ s going, ” OpenAI said in a statement on its website Friday.“ That ’ s why we want to explain how the model works, how we use it for research and education, and how we implement security measures around the technology. ”
At the end of last year, OpenAI shared its “voice engine ” with a small number of external users.
The engine uses text input and a 15-second clip of human voices to “generate a natural sounding human voice that is very similar to the original speaker. ”
The tool could create fake, multilingual human voices, and the company said at the time that it had chosen to preview the technology rather than launch it at scale to “enhance social resilience ” to the threat posed by“ increasingly realistic artificial intelligence-generated models. ”
As part of these efforts, OpenAI says it is actively phasing out ways to use voice recognition for bank account verification, exploring policies to protect individual voices for use in AI, educating the public about the risks of AI, and accelerating the development of technologies to track audiovisual content so users can identify whether they are interacting with real people or synthetic content.
However, despite these efforts, concerns about the technology remain.
Bruce Reed, the head of artificial intelligence for US President Joe Biden, has said that voice cloning is one of the reasons he can't sleep at night.
The Federal Trade Commission said in March that scammers were using AI technology to increase the credibility of their fraud, using voice cloning tools that make it harder for people to distinguish between AI-generated voices and human voices.
“We continue to engage with U.S. and international partners from government, media, entertainment, education, civil society, and more to ensure we incorporate their feedback in the build process, ” the company also noted, once the“ Voice Engine ” is equipped with its latest model, GPT-4o, it will also bring new threats.
The company says it is actively “conducting ‘ red team testing ’ on GPT-4o to identify and address known and unknown risks from areas such as social psychology, bias and fairness, and misinformation. ”

Overall, voice cloning technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with each other and with technology, but it also requires careful consideration of its potential risks and implications.

What are some risks regarding AI voice clning?

The use of voice cloning technology for generating Listening Comprehension materials at low proficiency levels has the potential to improve language learning outcomes, but also raises ethical challenges and concerns about misuse.

Title:

Content: A system engineer who is fluent in English and Spanish lost his call center job because of a non-standard accent.
That ’ s why three of his friends at Stanford University set up a startup and developed an app, hoping to solve the communication problems caused by accents.
According to CNN, startup Sanas is testing a self-developed AI driver that can instantly change the accent of people to solve the problem of communication.
For example, a call center worker in the Philippines can normally speak to a microphone, but a U.S. customer on the other end of the phone sounds like they ’ re from Kansas.
Sanas ’ s founders say the call center is just the beginning; according to the company ’ s website, their campaign slogan is “Speech, Reimagined. ”
Ultimately, the founders want their app to be used in a wide range of industries as well as personal communication.
They point out that the app can help doctors understand patients better, help grandkids understand what their grandparents are saying, improve movie dubbing accuracy, and help smart appliances and voice assistants understand different accents.
Sanas CEO Maxim Serebryakov is from Russia, where he met two other co-founders, Andrés Pérez Soderi and Shawn Zhang, at Stanford University.
The chief financial officer is a Venezuelan who graduated from Stanford with Seri Bureakov, and the chief technology officer, Shaun Zhang, who is from China, dropped out of school to focus on setting up Sanas.
Seriabreakov points out that people from different countries have been treated differently because of their accents. "It can be quite sad at times."
English is still the most spoken language in the world, with about 1.5 billion people speaking it, but most of them are not native speakers.
In the United States alone, millions of people speak English as their second language.
This has allowed the market for English pronunciation apps to grow, but Sanas has taken a different approach, arguing that instead of spending a lot of money or time learning to change accents, technology can help users effectively communicate what they want to say.
Sabriakov stressed that Sanas did not try to eliminate any accents or imply that one way of speaking is better than the other. “We want to make sure people don ’ t have to change their way of speaking for the sake of a position or a job. ”
We also understand that self-identity and accent are essential, and that they are inseparable. ”
Currently, Sanas ’ algorithm can be used to convert English accents in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, India and Spain, and the team plans to add more accents.
While the American accent still sounds blunt in the sample audio files provided to CNN by the Sanas team, the call center that tried the app has given positive initial feedback.
The Sanas team said they had received $5.5 million in seed funding from investors earlier this year and will continue to develop improved accent conversion technology in the future.

U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) development company OpenAI today revealed a voice copying tool that intends to implement strict controls before implementing protection against speech fraud.
According to an OpenAI blog post sharing the results of the small scale test, the model, called Voice Engine, can mainly copy a person ’ s voice based on a 15-second sound sample.
San Francisco-based OpenAI said, “We acknowledge the significant risks involved in generating speech that resembles someone ’ s voice, especially given the election year … We work with U.S. and international partners in government, media, entertainment, education, civil society, and other areas to ensure that we incorporate their input into the build process. ”
Fake information researchers are concerned that AI-powered applications are being abused in a critical election year, as voice copying tools become more and more affordable, easy to use, and difficult to track.
OpenAI, which recognises these issues, said it would be cautious and kept abreast of wider releases "based on the potential for synthetic speech abuse."
A few months ago, a political adviser to a Democratic presidential primary candidate in the United States admitted to impersonating President Joe Biden ’ s voice by calling AI-generated automated voice calls that sounded like Biden ’ s call to voters not to vote in January ’ s New Hampshire primary.
The incident alarmed experts who feared a flood of AI-generated fake information ahead of the US presidential election in November and other important elections around the world.
OpenAI said that partners testing the Voice Engine have agreed to a number of specifications, including requiring that all voices copied by the tool be given explicit and informed consent.
OpenAI also said that it is also necessary to clearly inform the audience that the sound they hear is generated by AI.
“We have implemented a range of security measures, including digital watermarking to track the source of all audio generated by the Voice Engine and proactively monitor how the tool is used, ” OpenAI said.

AI system that can fake human voices in extensive testing OpenAI to understand how dangerous it is
Artificial intelligence (AI) development company OpenAI says it is extensively testing new AI systems that can impersonate human voices to understand the dangers of a system known as the “Voice Engine, ” because anyone who uploads a speech file that reads a text aloud for 15 seconds can read any piece of text in a synthetic voice, not just in the original language, or even in Chinese.
That is, you read a text in English to the Voice Engine, which can “speak ” in your voice in Spanish, French, Chinese, or any language.
This is another "new step" of OpenAI after generating images and video features artificial intelligence system.
The company said on the 29th that several companies are testing the function of the "sound engine".
The first two are the AI to draw the desired image or create a video for the user, and they can be delivered immediately. Today, the AI can also speak for the user in any language.
A few months ago, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ’ s voice was used by AI to call AI-generated automated voice calls urging voters not to vote in January ’ s New Hampshire primary.
Fake information researchers are concerned that AI-powered applications are being abused in a critical election year, as voice copying tools become more and more affordable, easy to use, and difficult to track.
OpenAI, which recognises these issues, said it would be cautious and kept abreast of wider releases "based on the potential for synthetic speech abuse."
Like image or video generators, sound generators are also likely to be used to spread fake messages on social media, and criminals can be used to impersonate the voices of others, commit fraud or other criminal purposes on the Internet or on the phone.
OpenAI ’ s biggest concern is that this technology can break through sound authentication applications and hack into other people ’ s bank accounts and other voice-protected networks and digital assets.
“It ’ s a sensitive thing, it ’ s important not to go wrong, ” said Jeff Harris, the company ’ s product development manager.
The famed startup is working on ways to prevent criminals from using “voice engines ” to fake the voices of politicians or celebrities to do bad things, such as“ digital watermarks. ”
When OpenAI released its image generator, Sora, last month, it also proposed measures to prevent abuse, but only showed it and did not release it publicly.
Technology companies such as Google and ElevenLabs have also developed “voice engines ” that allow them to create audiobooks, web chatbots, and even radio hosts.
Harris said the "voice engine" was not released for the time being because it was dangerous, especially in an election year.
The company doesn ’ t want to make money on the AI right away, either; however, he says the system is “particularly useful ” for people who lose their voice due to illness or accidents.
According to Harris, OpenAI helped a female patient who was unable to speak due to brain cancer to reconstruct her speech using a small recording she left in high school.

Content: Language No Barrier: New AI tool can clone voice and make it say anything in multiple languages

Imagine former US President Donald Trump speaking in flawless Hindi. A new AI voice cloning tool by ElevenLabs can clone voices and make them say anything in a bunch of different languages. All it needs is a three-second sample clip and a bit of text as the prompt.

Mehul Reuben Das May 03, 2023 13:42:20 IST

Imagine former US President Donald Trump speaking in flawless Hindi. A new AI voice cloning tool by ElevenLabs can clone voices and make them say anything in a bunch of different languages. All it needs is a three-second sample clip and a bit of text as the prompt.

As advanced as AI-based voice cloning has been, there were a few limitations to it. For example, voice generators were mainly bound by the language of the source they were trained in or rather the language of the prompt that was given to them. Now, ElevenLabs, an American AI software developing company has come up with a tool that does away with that limitation.

ElevenLabs’ new AI tool can clone the voice of a person and make it say anything in a bunch of different languages. All it needs is a clear voice sample of about 3 seconds, although it also suggests that the longer the sample, the better will be the results. The new tool even manages to maintain the speaker’s original tone of voice.

Limitless possibilities
The creators expect that this would ‘extend the possibilities’ in a variety of industries such as publishing, gaming creation, and media. “Introducing Eleven Multilingual v1: Our New Speech Synthesis Model! We’re thrilled to launch our new model supporting seven new languages: French, German, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish.”

“This advancement expands the horizons for creators, game developers, and publishers, and it paves the way for using generative media to create more localized, accessible, and imaginative content,” the company said.

Following the announcement, Twitter was flooded with comments, with users testing the software on various famous faces.

To demonstrate just how capable the new voice cloning AI tool is, Eluna AI, a platform for AI-content creators experimented with a sample clip of former US President Donald Trump.

In their demo, Eluna AI showcased a small clip of Donald Trump, speaking in his native tongue, English, followed by French, Spanish, German, Hindi and Italian, almost perfectly. The generated samples even gets the accent right, almost if he was a native speaker of the new target language.

Another user changed David Attenborough’s voice to German while the BBC broadcaster discussed the prospects of AI. “With this tool, anyone can do it,” stated the Twitter user. “It’s also worth noting that fraudsters will undoubtedly exploit this one.”

ElevenLabs says that its model was designed to understand the emotion and reasoning underlying words in order to produce natural-sounding and persuasive audio. ElevenLabs has said that some numerals and symbols are currently spoken wrongly, but that it is striving to rectify this.

Who is this new tool meant to help?
The US-based company believes its technology will be valuable in a variety of areas, including education and journalism.

Game developers and publishers can build engaging, localised experiences for worldwide audiences, breaking through language barriers and connecting with players and listeners to maximise engagement and efficiency while maintaining quality and accuracy.

“Educational institutions now have the ability to develop audio content for varied users in their target languages, enhancing language comprehension and even pronunciation abilities, as well as responding to different teaching methods and learning demands,” says the report.

Because of the model’s capacity to produce unique character-like voices, audiobook and content developers may also find it beneficial.

The conundrum of AI voice genertors
Despite its benefits, ElevenLabs’ launch comes amid widespread concern about the wave of new voice cloning technology. An unidentified TikTok user went popular last month after sharing an AI-generated Drake song starring The Weeknd.

It sparked concerns about the grey area of AI-created music and whether it constitutes a copyright violation. Nonetheless, ElevenLabs claims to be ‘fully committed’ to respecting creators’ rights in the midst of technological advancements.

“At Eleven, we think that we should seek to make the best use of emerging technology, but not at any expense,” it stated.

“As we create them, we make every effort to put suitable controls in place that reduce the possibility of detrimental abuse. With this in mind, we are entirely committed to both protecting intellectual property rights and taking action against infringement.”

Cairo - Center Gate Wednesday 30 August 2023, 04: 14 pm
A French videographer uses Deep Vike to simulate the voices of current and outgoing politicians who are having a live conversation with Twitch users, including French President Emmanuel Macron and two of his famous predecessors, Charles de Gaulle and Jacques Chirac.
Anis Ayari, an artificial intelligence engineer and owner of a YouTube channel for scientific simplification called Defend Intelligence, was behind his “deep fakes ” as satirical content.
But the experiment took on negative dimensions on Tuesday, when a netizen asked the alleged Macron what the worst name was for a French village, and the artificial intelligence answered “La Mor or Juve ”, meaning“ Death to Jews ” in French, a small village in the Loire region of central France that was renamed in 2015.
This led to the immediate blocking of the canal.
The channel ’ s owner wrote in a previous Twitter message that he had filed an appeal against the decision and relaunched live streaming sessions on rival platform Kik.com.
Months ago, this expert, who promotes virtual “assistants ” to companies, also used deep fakes to get the French president to sing his voice a song by famous singer Charles Aznavour.
He revealed in a video the techniques he adopted in this video trick.
Reproduction of historical figures
Finally, Ayari began to clone historical or other current figures such as Elon Musk, engaging them in “discussions ” with current political players.
Anis Ayari says: “We will simulate a political debate and we will see where we get on this. ”

Google ’ s artificial intelligence tool for writing news texts
To copy the voice of a character, it is enough to collect a few minutes of his speech, without any external interference.
Software then creates a model for his voice, allowing it to be used in new content, even in foreign languages.
“If we have 15 to 30 seconds of good quality, we start to get remarkable results.
There is no longer any need for computer programming. ”
Ayari launched an appeal to fund the live broadcast of his version of the French president.
Ayari asserts that using different information services costs him about 150 euros per day.
The "cynical" content
Tradition, however, has its limits, as the movement of the lips shows some loopholes.
Faced with absurd questions from some netizens, Emmanuel Macron in the copycat version gives strange answers, including, for example, “The subject of the pension system is out of my programming.
Let ’ s talk about more fun topics. ”
As the French president puts it in the AI-developed version, “My statement about my assets has the same credibility as the promises of a politician in his election campaign. ”
Anis Ayari points out that “there was a boom in the generation of votes last year, and it is accelerating. ”
Several projects are underway that will allow non-professionals to practice deep fakes in China, South Korea and Japan, where manga voices are popular.
Two artificial intelligence versions of the US president
On Trump or Biden 2024 via Twitch, two AI-developed versions of current US President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, engaged in a long summer exchange that continues under the watchful eye of hundreds of Internet users who can launch topics for discussion in writing.
Musicians have also paid a price for these technologies, as their voices have been reproduced in works of art without charge.
Actors, for their part, are concerned about the use of their studio images, and the information security community is witnessing a rise in phone-based phishing techniques.
But should we fear a new wave of disinformation using these technologies?
Anis Ayari answers, “The more people realize [the spread of deepfakes], the more critical they will feel. ”
On the other hand, he claims that the content he posted is “ironic. ”

Content: What we know about Vall-E 2
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.

What do cybersecurity experts believe about the use of synthesized voice?
