Content: OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, provided a glimpse into their latest artificial intelligence (AI) innovation on Friday—a tool known as Voice Engine, capable of generating “natural-sounding speech” and mimicking human voices with remarkable accuracy. According to OpenAI’s blog post, Voice Engine can produce lifelike speech from just a single 15-second audio sample, closely resembling the original speaker.

This cutting-edge AI tool has far-reaching applications, including reading assistance, content translation, and providing a voice for individuals who are nonverbal or afflicted by speech conditions. Despite its potential benefits, OpenAI acknowledges the serious risks associated with Voice Engine, particularly in an election year.

Development of Voice Engine began in late 2022, with private testing conducted among a select group of trusted partners starting late last year. OpenAI stresses that these partners adhere to stringent usage policies, ensuring explicit consent from the original speaker and prohibiting unauthorized impersonation.

To maintain transparency, any audio generated by Voice Engine is watermarked to aid in tracing its origin. OpenAI advocates for widespread deployment of voice authentication to verify the original speaker’s consent and suggests implementing a “no-go voice list” to prevent the creation of voices resembling prominent figures.

Moreover, OpenAI recommends phasing out voice-based authentication for sensitive information access, such as bank accounts. Despite these precautions, the company remains cautious about releasing Voice Engine more broadly.

OpenAI aims to foster a dialogue on the responsible deployment of synthetic voices, considering societal adaptation to these advancements. Based on ongoing discussions and test results, the company will make informed decisions regarding the technology’s widespread deployment.

The unveiling of Voice Engine comes amid escalating concerns surrounding AI-generated deepfakes and their potential to propagate misinformation, particularly in the context of elections. As OpenAI navigates the ethical and societal implications of Voice Engine, the tech community awaits further insights into the future of this transformative AI tool.

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.”

A new invention in artificial intelligence imitates sounds
Some of the biggest players in AI are seeking to stay ahead of the competition by launching their own gadgets, with Meta recently introducing Voicebox, an artificial speech generator integrated with artificial intelligence and based on texts.
The company believes that thanks to this technology, it has surpassed all current models in the field.
And while the system isn ’ t widely available for public use yet, Meta has made demos available to anyone interested in learning more about Voicebox.
The system can be used to edit acoustics through a natural sound generator, and can intelligently edit noise in audio files and reproduce sound accurately.
Voicebox is able to match the style of voice input and generate audio text clips, allowing blind users to provide the system with an audio clip of one of their friends so Voicebox can read their messages written in their friend ’ s voice using artificial intelligence.
The system can solve tasks through contextual learning, so that it can process texts that have not been given before and generate context and changes in the same way that people read by relying on previous knowledge to learn and face new challenges.
The ethical and legal implications of this new tool cannot be ignored, as anyone can produce audio clips using someone ’ s audio recordings and claiming to speak anything they want, without permission.
The company claims in its paper that the binary classification model can distinguish between real speech and that it was created by Voicebox.
Voicebox trains over 60,000 hours of English audiobooks and 50,000 hours of multilingual audiobooks in six different languages.
The system can also convert written text into spoken speech in one or several languages without having to be specially trained for each language.
Meta claims that Voicebox can produce various audio clips 20 times faster than Microsoft ’ s Val-E and with better quality.
In addition to high speed and accuracy, Voicebox can generate audio clips in different languages without having to be specially trained for each language.

Developers and deployers must prioritize consent, privacy, and copyright when using voice cloning technology.

Generating high-quality voice clones requires advanced AI models, non-autoregressive generative models, and consideration of ethical and legal implications.

Microsoft has developed a language system that can mimic a person ’ s voice from a sample of just three seconds.
Microsoft has developed an intelligent language system, an AI-powered program that can mimic someone ’ s voice and mimic their voice from a three-second audio sample.
The new system, called VALL-E, converts written texts into audio clips, and speech can match both the speaker ’ s tone of voice and the way of talking — even room acoustics, where it can be used for custom or sophisticated text-to-speech applications.
Not only does the system create audio clips by writing random texts, but it can also take into account the reading style and tone of voice, to show the character of the original voice in the fake audio clips.
The system is still under development and research, but the project offers a high level of accuracy in simulating the factors and sound effects surrounding the speaker in the original clip of only 3 seconds, so that they are highlighted in the manufactured clips closer to the truth.
Samples of audio clips presented by "Microsoft" to reveal the capabilities of its new system, a precise level of the program in creating audio clips as recorded during a phone call, by quoting the style of sound and its level and intensity, from the original clip recorded to the user during his speech in fact.
And proved "Microsoft" through the audio clips published on the page of the new system on "JetHub" that the system can create audio clips in different ways, using the voice of one person.

Content: Meta announces Voicebox, its generative AI model for audio

Today, Meta has announced its latest generative AI model, following on the back of ImageBind is Voicebox, which is designed to help creators with its ability to perform speech generation tasks such as audio editing, sampling and stylising, even if it wasn't specifically trained to do so through in-context learning.

Meta touts that this new AI model will have benefits to many people around the world, and uses examples such as helping visually impaired people to hear written messages from friends in their voices, as well as allowing people to speak foreign languages in their own voices.

The AI model itself can produce both high-quality audio clips, and edit pre-recorded audio to remove unwanted disruptions such as car horns while preserving the content and style of the audio while being multilingual, producing speech in six languages. Future developments for the model include giving natural-sounding voices to visual assistants, or non-player characters during games in the metaverse.

Meta has also compared Voicebox to other audio AI models out there, specifically naming Vall-E and YourTTS as competitors, demonstrating that Voicebox is more advanced and outperforms both models when comparing Word error rates and Style similarity.

Voicebox has been built on a Flow Matching model, which is Meta's latest non-autoregressive generative model, which can learn highly non-deterministic mapping between text and speech, enabling Voicebox to learn from varied speech data without it having to be carefully labelled allowing the data to be more diverse and on a larger scale.

Voicebox has been trained on more than 50,000 hours of recorded speech and transcripts from public domain audiobooks in English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, and Portuguese so far, and it can also predict a speech segment when given the surrounding speech and the transcript of the segment.

Lastly, Meta goes on to comment that while the technology can bring in a new era of generative AI for speech, it could bring the potential for misuse and unintended harm.

In the research paper that Meta will be sharing about Voicebox, it will include detail on how it has built a highly effective classifier which can differentiate between authentic speech and Voicebox-generated speech.

Meta will not be making the AI program itself available for public use, nor will it be releasing the source code.

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.
See also Google allows you to make your own copy of a celebrity to chat with her in a chatbot
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.

Content: ChatGPT ’ s new feature makes it possible to synthesize realistic vocals in just 15 seconds OpenAI: not available yet
Author: Au Jingluo
Published: Updated:
OpenAI has decided to postpone the release of its new software, Voice Engine, which can copy and synthesize realistic human voices in just 15 seconds of recording. OpenAI says it is too risky to release the tool now.
Voice Engine was developed in 2022 and the original version was used for the Text-to-Speech feature of ChatGPT.
However, OpenAI wants to expand it into a tool for simulating speech, copying the sounds of real people.
“We want to start a conversation about the responsible application of synthetic sound and how society responds to these new capabilities, ” OpenAI said in a blog post.“ Based on the results of small-scale testing, we will be more informed about whether and how to deploy this technology at scale. ”
A giant AI logo at the Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, China, on July 6, 2023. (Reuters)
In the article, OpenAI shares practical examples of partners trying this technology.
For example, the edtech company Age of Learning uses it to generate script voiceovers, while the AI voice company HeyGen uses user recordings to translate directly, such as using audio samples from French users to simulate users reading English.
It doesn ’ t take much variety to make a realistic simulation, and one of the demonstrations uses only 15 seconds of recording to successfully replicate.
OpenAI says it won ’ t release the technology publicly at this time because it ’ s too risky.
The company called on the community to discuss “policies to protect the use of individual voices in AI ” and“ educate the public about the capabilities and limitations of AI technology, including the possibility of fraudulent content. ”

The development of voice cloning technology has raised concerns about its potential misuse, prompting companies like Microsoft to withhold releases due to abuse risks.

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.

What are some risks regarding AI voice clning?

Voice cloning technology can benefit language learning by providing realistic audio materials, but high-quality clones are crucial.

How will educational institutions benefit from developing AI voice audio content for languages learners?

Enhance language comprehension
Enhance pronunciation abilities

Voice cloning technology raises ethical concerns, including consent and voice protection, that require policies and regulations.

Voice Reproduction by Artificial Intelligence in the Spotlight

Voice cloning technology raises many concerns with the adoption of a number of companies, such as OpenAI, the creator of the famous “Chat GBT ” program, who was finally forced to apologize to actress Scarlett Johansson after copying her voice in the latest version of her automated chat program.
OpenAI general manager Sam Altman apologized to the actress and announced the suspension of the voice of the help tool "Sky" on "Chat GBT."
The company made a presentation in September to Scarlett, who lent her voice about a decade ago to an artificial intelligence system in the film "Hair", but the actress refused to be the voice of the system of the new version of "Chat GBT".
OpenAI, for its part, denied that it had cloned Johansson's voice, noting that it had created its instrument using the voice of another actress.
News of acoustic tricks very similar to reality, fraud or misinformation using voice cloning is constantly making headlines, highlighting the ability of artificial intelligence systems to mimic human voices.
Last year, Eleven Labs, a startup working on an AI voice cloning tool, warned against abusive use of its software.
Unidentified users on the 4Chan forum had been circulating messages in which famous voices were cloned and made the voices uttered with inappropriate meanings.
In one audio clip, actress Emma Watson is heard reading a passage from Adolf Hitler ’ s Mein Kampf.
A paradigm shift.
The director of the startup, Danish businessman Viktor Ribarbelli, told AFP that the technology was largely created through an open-source software called Torts that was launched two years ago.
His company transforms text into video using an avatar created by artificial intelligence.
It employs actors whose voice and shape are subject to a two-year contract, with the possibility of renewal, said Ribarbelli, who was interviewed by AFP on the sidelines of the recent Vivatek exhibition of new technologies in Paris.
The Torts machine learning program analyzed thousands of hours of audio recordings and served as a base for the Eleven Labs app.
"It was an important qualitative shift," said Ribarbelli.
OpenAI uses similar software, although it does not disclose details.
With ChatGT4.0, the user can say a few sentences in French in front of the app, which in a matter of minutes can reproduce this audio and use it to narrate a short video in five different languages, OpenAI showed during a demonstration of the program in Paris.
Like this American company, hundreds of companies now offer voice cloning, which has become more realistic and accurate.
Among them is TALKR.ai, a French company for virtual voice assistants created by artificial intelligence.
The service can handle 25% to 30% of customer service calls without any human intervention, according to its president, Katya Linh.
Like Viktor Ribarbelli, Lenny sees the use of actors ’ voices without their consent as a red line.
As for what happened with Scarlett Johansson, Ribarbelli said: “If they clone her voice without her knowledge, it ’ s very bad, but if they don ’ t have the right to use someone ’ s voice that sounds very similar to her, it sets a very strange precedent. ”
