# Report on Voice Cloning Technology

## Introduction

Voice cloning technology represents one of the most rapidly advancing areas in artificial intelligence, offering both tremendous opportunities and significant risks.

As a foreign language instructor seeking authentic listening comprehension materials for low proficiency learners, understanding this technology's capabilities, applications, and implications is crucial for informed curriculum development.

## What is Voice Cloning Technology?

Voice cloning, also known as voice synthesis or voice replication, is an AI technology that can recreate a person's unique vocal characteristics using minimal audio samples.

Modern systems can generate realistic human-like voices from just seconds of recorded speech, far surpassing earlier technologies that required extensive audio databases.

The technology works by analyzing various vocal parameters including pitch, tone, cadence, and speech patterns, then using neural networks to generate new speech that mimics the target voice.

As demonstrated by Amazon Alexa's recent developments, systems can now replicate voices with less than one minute of audio input by treating the process as a voice conversion task rather than pure voice

OpenAI wasn ’ t going to copy Scarlett Johansson ’ s voice
OpenAI selected Sky ’ s voice actor months before Sam Altman contacted Scarlett Johansson, and had no intention of finding someone who looked like her, according to The Washington Post.
The magazine said last year ’ s OpenAI publication looked for actors with “warm, engaging and engaging ” voices.
They must be between the ages of 25 and 45 and must be non-unionists, but OpenAI is said to have not specified that they were looking for a voice similar to Scarlett Johansson.
If you remember, Johansson accused the company of copying her photo without the permission of her voice assistant Sky.
Sky ’ s voice agent told The Post that the company had never talked about Johansson or the film Her with her talent.
Obviously, OpenAI didn ’ t tweak the actress ’ recordings to look like Johansson either, because her natural voice sounded like Sky ’ s, based on the initial audio test clips The Post listened to.
OpenAI ’ s product manager, Joanne Zhang, told the publication that the company chose actors who were passionate about working on artificial intelligence.
She said Mira Moratti, the company ’ s chief technology officer, had made all the decisions regarding the AI Voices project and that Altman had not been closely involved in the process.
Jang also told the post that for her Sky was not like Johansson.
The Sky representative told The Post through her agent that she had just used her natural voice, and that she had never been compared to Johansson by people who knew her closely.
But in a statement Johansson ’ s team shared with Engadget, she said she was shocked that OpenAI followed a voice that “looks eerily similar ” to her voice to the point that“ her close friends and news media couldn ’ t tell the difference ” after she turned down Altman ’ s offer for GPT voice chat.
Johansson said Altman first contacted her in September 2023 to inform her of the offer, and then contacted her again just two days before the company introduced GPT-4o to ask her to reconsider.
Sky has been one of ChatGPT ’ s voices since September, but GPT-4o has given it the ability to have human-like conversations with users.
This made his similarities to Johansson ’ s voice even more apparent — Altman tweeted “for her ” after OpenAI showed that the new big language model didn ’ t help the situation and called for more comparisons with the virtual AI assistant Johansson expressed in the film.
OpenAI has temporarily stopped using Sky ’ s voice “out of respect ” for Johansson ’ s concerns, she wrote in a blog post.
However, the representative said the company stopped using Sky only after it hired a legal adviser who wrote to Altman and the company to ask for an explanation.
If you ’ re wondering if Sky really looks like Johansson, we ’ ve included a video below so you can judge for yourself.
It ’ s a recording of Johansson ’ s statement as read by voice assistant Sky, and posted by Victor Mosheri on YouTube.
Opinions are divided in the comments section, with some saying it sounds like a robot, while others say it sounds like Rashida Jones.

Sexual racketeering victim fraud syndicate has AI accomplices
Crime experts and police say the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has made it easier for scammers to falsify photos of innocent people into pornography, targeting more victims, including children, for sexual extortion.
The FBI said last month that it received reports from victims, including minors, that their photos had been modified into realistic pornography by AI tools and placed on social media for sharing. The FBI pointed out that it would be a challenge for victims to prevent content from being shared or removed from the Internet.
According to a public safety alert released by the FBI in December, the agency received 7,000 reports of money extortion against minors, including at least 3,000 victims.
John Shehan, vice president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), said the organization has recently received multiple reports of photos of victims being posted on social media.
Schehan told news site Axios that the current situation is like the unlawless wild west of the United States in the pioneer era: “These technologies are likely to get out of control quickly. ”
A common tactic used by scammers in the past is to trick victims into sending private photos by threatening and seducing them to extort money in exchange for photos not being made public or deleted from the Internet.
But with the help of AI, scammers can take ordinary photos or videos from social media and then use open source image synthesis tools to fake pornography.
John Wilson, a senior researcher at cybersecurity firm Fortra, points out that threats like so-called “deepfakes ” have been around for years, but the tools used to create them have become extremely powerful and easy to use in recent years.
Equality Now, a human rights group, has also pointed out that the pace of legislation and law reform is clearly lagging behind the development of AI technology, and as of 2021, many countries ’ laws still do not address issues such as child sexual exploitation images generated by deep hypocrisy or AI.
Noelle Martin, a 28-year-old Australian woman, accidentally discovered on the Internet that her social media selfies had been changed to pornographic photos when she was 17.
She chose to face it bravely and publicly protest against this unhealthy trend.
Now she is an advocate against fake pornographic graphic extortion.

Let ’ s go or leave it alone!
If what we have read recently on social media is true about the intention of some who are familiar with the subject of "playing" in the sounds to produce new songs "invented" by evoking the voices of some of our late singers, it is very dangerous, must pay attention to it and resist it, and kill the idea in the bud because of its uselessness, as it will not add new to the heritage of the departed, and will be deducted from the credits of creators!
Or Kulthum Allah have mercy on her, Abdul Wahab, Abdul Halim, Farid and many others, have enriched our lives and formed our conscience with all their original art, why do some insist deliberately, or unintentionally on distorting every original and ugly every beautiful?!
Is the state of artistic poverty that some people talk about, and the lack of beautiful voices or expressive throats that led them to do this?
Do they, for example, want to prove to others that they are “splinters ” in the subject of voice synthesis, geniuses in the use of technology and orcs in artificial intelligence?!
I am not anti-technological or anti-evolutionary, but I believe that everything that we all use as human beings and living beings has a useful and useful face and a harmful and sometimes even exterminating one!
And that if something went too far, it would inevitably turn against me.
If technology entered our lives to please us and help us and facilitate us some difficulties and ease us some hardships then welcome technology and dead welcome development, but if it interfered in our lives in order to corrupt the original and distort the good and ugly beautiful then a pure lack of technology and Uighur in shrewd development!
If the artificial intelligence will bring us the voice of the woman who died 48 years ago to sing us new songs, God knows the words, congratulations on the intelligence.
What do we gain if we conjure up the voice of the six?
What will come back to us if you bring us her soul?
In my entire life, I don ’ t remember ever liking, interacting, or applauding any of the people who were given the ability to imitate sounds and used them in their turn to present sketches, and I watched them a lot at parties and listened to them on the radio “in the theater of variety ” and appeared repeatedly on screens!
I watched them when I was young, but I did not like the performance of one of them, because with full respect for their personalities and great appreciation for their talent and great respect for their effort and diligence in mastering the "tradition", but I did not like the fact that they did not introduce anything new!
They imitated the voice of Mohammad Reza, Kamal al-Shennawi, Stephan Rusty and others, people saw them and clapped for them, and I watched them and did not clap, because there is a fact that says that the one who dies cannot return!
If technology succeeds in evoking the voice of the woman or even preparing her soul, this will not help us in little or much, the lady has gone to the mercy of her Lord, so remind her of the good and read her Fatiha!
Let us listen to her old songs and say, God have mercy on you Yast, pray for her like us or leave her, do not mess with our heritage and show you something useful to do!
God save our country and help you and us.

T + T - normal size
The techniques of "artificial intelligence" appear significantly in smart phones and is expected in the coming years to turn these features from just advantages appear in some high-specification phones to general and common features of all smartphone manufacturers, to transfer the world of "mobile" to a new generation of artificial intelligence phones.
According to "Sky News Arabia", an upcoming update from the company "Apple" will provide an unprecedented advantage, lies in imitating the user's voice accurately, in order to read texts in the same tone.
iOS 17 is expected to offer iPhone and iPad users a feature called Personal Voice, which is very easy to use.
The user needs to provide a sample of his voice to the device that memorizes what he received, and move to another feature called "direct speech", after which, the user will be able to make the device read texts and messages in a tone exactly like the voice of the owner.
Accordingly, you can write a message in letters, while the artificial intelligence turns it into speech heard by your voice, and sends it to your relatives or friends, this feature seeks in principle to help people who have lost their voice or have temporary speech disorders, if someone is at risk of losing their voice as well, this feature allows him to retain his tone, and after a while, he can employ it to read texts with his voice and communicate with others...
According to technology experts, this feature is a revolutionary leap because the devices are no longer just tools we use, but have become copies of us and resemble us in some things, and know what we want such as songs and favorite restaurants.

Content: China ’ s official media warned: AI swaps to impersonate officials to increase fraud
Central News Agency
(Central News Agency reporter Zhang Shuling Shanghai 3) Chinese state media disclosed that there have been a number of AI (artificial intelligence) fraud incidents, using "face change" and sound technology to impersonate government personnel to deceive, should be highly vigilant.
This is an advertisement, please continue reading.
Xinhua News Agency's Watchful News Weekly WeChat public number issued today, saying that the police in the northern province recently released a case of "political fraud" using "AI to change faces".
The impersonation of the culprit was made by a leading cadre known to the victim.
The swindler after the "face change" suggested in the WeChat video call that his friend had a project deposit that needed to be borrowed from the public account of the victim's company.
In just over 10 minutes of communication, the victim transferred millions of yuan.
This video screen through the "face change" of the AI deceiver facial expression is natural, the voice is realistic, so the victim relaxed their vigilance, and then called to confirm after the transfer, only to know that they were cheated.
The report pointed out that some leading cadres have a relatively high probability of going to television for work reasons, which provides a wealth of facial recognition material for illegal people; in TV and radio news, many sound data of some leading cadres can also be found, which makes the "fake cost" lower.
"You only need to extract at least 10 words and at most 32 words to synthesize the sound," said Zhao Mingming, an expert in security research at the National Internet Information and Communication Industry Group.
The Tianjin Daily reported today that Zhang Xiankun, deputy dean of the School of Artificial Intelligence at Tianjin University of Science and Technology, said that "AI face changing mimicry" is not a new technology, but with the continuous development and improvement of artificial intelligence technology, especially the improvement of computer computing power, the "face changing" effect is more realistic and has been widely used in the fields of film, television, advertising and games.
The report pointed out that China's "Civil Code" and "Personal Information Protection Law" promulgated in 2020 and 2021 respectively provide for biometric information.
The “Provisions on Several Issues Concerning the Applicable Law for the Trial of Civil Cases Related to the Use of Facial Recognition Technology for Handling Personal Information ” issued by the Supreme People ’ s Court in 2021, and the“ Provisions on Deep Synthesis Management of Internet Information Services ” jointly issued by various departments in December 2022 have also been further regulated.
However, Professor Jiao Yanling of the School of Law of Tianjin Normal University believes that there are so many legal provisions that the use of AI to change faces to illegal situations is still repeated, "reflecting that the core problem is not at the legislative level, but in the implementation of the law and the awareness of citizens", and it is necessary to increase the prevention and supervision of illegal acts.
Zhang Xiankun believes that although AI face modification can now be done with fake real, but "fake is fake", through the computer can still be identified, the future should soon appear a variety of "AI face" pictures or video applications.

What is the future of artificial intelligence?
As part of our year-end story package, ChatGPT commissioned us to write a guest post about the future of generative AI.
The claim asked for a 1,200 word essay (a number that was undermined by a large margin) exploring the potential negative and positive consequences of the technology.
We then asked her to include real-world examples, apparently beyond her abilities.
We also asked her to include a section on the recent Sam Altman disaster, which, as you will soon read, was also not a topic she could describe privately.
Below is the unedited output with light formatting changes.
Navigating the future of generative AI: balancing exciting possibilities with potential pitfalls
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful force, reshaping the technological landscape thanks to its ability to independently create content.
From language models such as GPT-3 to image generation algorithms, generative AI holds enormous promise for the future.
However, this promising future is not without challenges.
In this article, we will explore the potential negative consequences and the most exciting possibilities of generative AI, with the aim of balancing optimism with caution.
In addition, we will address the recent leadership shift involving Sam Altman at OpenAI, highlighting ethical considerations associated with AI development.
Sam Altman ’ s Leadership Transformation: Lessons in Ethical Artificial Intelligence
In recent months, the AI community has seen a major leadership shift at OpenAI that Sam Altman has been involved in.
The CEO, known for his influential role in guiding OpenAI initiatives, faced a period of controversy over his subsequent dismissal and reappointment.
This incident highlighted the challenges associated with ethical considerations in the development and management of AI.
Addressing ethical concerns: Sam Altman ’ s leadership transformation has led to a reassessment of ethical considerations in AI development and regulatory decision-making.
The incident raised questions about transparency and accountability and the need for strong ethical frameworks to guide the development and deployment of AI technologies.
Transparency and accountability: The leadership transition emphasized the importance of transparency in organizational decision-making, especially in contexts involving AI technologies with wide-ranging implications.
He highlighted the need to hold leaders and organizations accountable for their actions and to ensure that ethical guidelines were followed.
Community Engagement: The controversy surrounding Sam Altman ’ s leadership transformation has also highlighted the importance of involving the wider community in decisions related to AI development.
The call for more inclusive decision-making processes has gained momentum, reinforcing the idea that diverse perspectives play a crucial role in overcoming the ethical challenges associated with AI technologies.

Possible negative consequences
Ethical Concerns and Prejudice
One of the primary concerns with generative AI is its susceptibility to biases found in training data.
If the data used to train these models reflects societal biases, AI may inadvertently perpetuate these biases and amplify them in their resulting content.
Addressing this problem is critical to preventing AI systems from inadvertently promoting and spreading harmful stereotypes.
Security Threats and Deep Counterfeiting
The ability of generative AI to produce highly realistic and compelling content raises serious security concerns.
Deepfakes, for example, are images or videos created by artificial intelligence that manipulate content and superimpose it on real footage.
This technology can be exploited for harmful purposes, such as creating fake news, impersonating individuals or spreading misleading information.
With the development of generative AI, the challenge of distinguishing between real and fake content has become increasingly difficult.
Invasion of Privacy
Advances in generative artificial intelligence also raise concerns about privacy violations.
The ability to create realistic images and videos of individuals who have never been involved in creating such content poses a risk to personal privacy.
Protecting individuals from the unauthorized use of their images in AI-generated content will be a pressing issue in the coming years.
Unemployment and economic turmoil
The automation capabilities of generative AI – the displacement of the workforce in some industries – may be driving.
Jobs that involve routine and repetitive tasks, such as content creation, may be at risk.
Balancing technological progress with societal well-being will be a challenge to ensure that AI complements human work rather than replaces it.
Ethical and ethical dilemmas
As AI systems become more efficient at producing content that mimics human creativity, ethical questions arise.
For example, who owns the rights to art or literature generated by artificial intelligence?
Identifying the legal and ethical implications of creations produced by non-human entities challenges our traditional understanding of authorship and intellectual property.
That's what generative artificial intelligence thinks.

Enhancing creativity and productivity
Generative AI has the ability to amplify human creativity and productivity by automating mundane tasks, allowing individuals to focus on the most complex and strategic aspects of their work.
In areas such as content creation, design and marketing, AI can help and inspire, leading to an increase in innovation and efficiency.
A revolution in health care
The future of generative AI promises breakthroughs in healthcare, from drug discovery to personalized medicine.
AI models can analyze large data sets, identify patterns, and propose new solutions, dramatically accelerating the pace of medical research and improving patient outcomes.
Custom User Experiences
As generative AI continues to evolve, it can provide highly customized and tailored experiences for users.
From adaptive learning platforms to content recommendations, AI systems can understand individual preferences and behaviors, providing a smoother and more engaging user experience.
Collaboration between Human and Artificial Intelligence
Instead of replacing human roles, generative AI is likely to foster collaboration between humans and machines.
AI tools can act as creative partners, helping professionals in various fields achieve results that would not be possible by traditional methods alone.
This collaborative approach can lead to unprecedented levels of innovation.
Innovations in art and entertainment
Generative AI has already made waves in the art world, creating unique pieces that challenge traditional notions of creativity.
In the entertainment industry, AI-driven content creation can open up new horizons for storytelling, virtual worlds, and interactive experiences, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in these areas.
CONCLUSION
The future of generative AI is a double-edged sword, offering exciting possibilities and potential pitfalls.
As we navigate this technological landscape, it is important to recognize and address the ethical concerns and negative outcomes associated with generative AI.
Balancing innovation and responsible development is essential to harnessing the full potential of AI while mitigating its risks.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, implementing ethical guidelines, and investing in research to address biases and security threats, we can pave the way for a future where generative AI enhances human creativity, productivity, and well-being.
The recent leadership shift that Sam Altman participated in serves as a reminder of the importance of ethical considerations in the development of AI, urging the industry to learn from the mistakes of the past and shaping a collective future where AI benefits humanity responsibly.

Content: Artificial intelligence is replacing human actors in voiceovers and videos
Chris Vallance (Chris Vallance)
• BBC Technical Reporter
The Screen Actors Guild (Equity) has said that if current laws are not changed, the livelihoods of entertainers will be threatened by artificial intelligence.
The campaign, launched by the British Performers Union, is called “Don ’ t Let Artificial Intelligence Catch the Camera. ”
Artificial intelligence can use parts of the actor ’ s voice and face to create content, including so-called “deep fakes ”, which uses artificial intelligence to generate anthropomorphic images and mix them with human images to make it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The Screen Actors Guild says, “From auto-generated listening content to digitally personalised images, AI systems are now replacing professional actors. ”
The Screen Actors Guild has warned that unless copyright laws are amended now, there will be an end to what it calls a “dystopia, ” a future in which social forms are comprehensively deteriorating.
The Screen Actors Guild points to a number of ways in which AI makes use of actors ’ voices and looks.
For example, actors can work with AI companies to build a system that can generate AI voiceovers or help generate digitally simulated human images.
Artificial intelligence can produce “synthetic ” performances, and in some cases even bring actors who are no longer alive back to the screen.
While AI generates performance as a creative tool, the actors ’ union is concerned that actors ’ control cannot be protected, i.e. they are not always able to control how their image is used or, without consent or adequate remuneration, their own image is used.
Manually generated "deep fake" celebrity videos are becoming more and more popular online.
The Screen Actors Guild ’ s “Don ’ t Let Artificial Intelligence Catch the Camera ” campaign was supported by actress Talulah Riley.
“As a performer, no matter how easy it is to reproduce sound and image with digital technology, how cheap the price is, my voice and my pictogram belong to me, which is the most important thing, ” she said.
I think performance artists should be rewarded for what they create. "
Trouble with voice actors
The Screen Actors Guild says that when actors work with AI companies, most are unaware of their rights, and many are asked to sign confidentiality agreements.
The Screen Actors Guild conducted a survey of 430 members and found that 93% of dubbing artists felt AI was a threat to their employment opportunities.
One voice actor who participated in the survey told the union, “Over the past six months, my voice has been used in large-scale marketing campaigns at companies around the world.
I think I signed a contract that forbids third-party advertising, and even then I didn ’ t get a penny. ”
“The growing ability of AI to clone human sounds is a big risk for sound owners, who get paid less, or not at all, ” the actor ’ s union said.
The Screen Actors Guild said they were particularly concerned about the development of digital sound technology designed to automatically generate audiobooks.
Examples of China
China ’ s CCTV aired the documentary “Innovate China ” in 2018, which is said to be the first in the world to use artificial intelligence to simulate human voice.
The voice of a deceased Chinese voice actor reappears in the film through language synthesis technology.
In addition, Chinese media have also reported that the voice in China's car navigation software uses the voice of Taiwanese actress Lin Zhiling, who was synthesized by artificial intelligence.
The issue of copyright in the use of personal voices through artificial intelligence synthesis technology and how to ensure legal protection in China is also a matter of widespread concern, but still to be defined by law.
Text to Speech
The union's lobbying campaign was supported by voice actor Bev Standing, who had filed a lawsuit over the use of her voice on the social media site TikTok.
The Canadian voiceover artist recorded 10,000 sentences for translation in 2018 for the research institute of the China Institute of Acoustics.
But Ms. Stein said her voice later appeared in TikTok's "text-to-speech" (TTS) feature, a software that converts text into sound, dubbing uploaded videos, and often producing comedic effects.
She said the synthetic sounds of those rationed videos often repeat swear words.
Although TikTok never admitted to using Ms. Stedin ’ s voice, TikTok adjusted its “text-to-speech ” function accordingly after she filed a lawsuit.
Later, TikTok made an out-of-court settlement with Ms. Stein.
"I only work with dubbing companies that give me control over how I authorize my use," Ms. Stein said, speaking to the Screen Actors Union.
Government action is needed.
The Screen Actors Guild said existing copyright laws do not provide enough protection for performing artists because artificial intelligence “can generate performances without recording or copying the original. ”
The Screen Actors Guild wants the government to take action to protect the rights of actors, and they want to amend copyright laws to “adapt to the pace of technological development. ”
But there are also concerns that changes to copyright laws could have a negative impact on freedom of expression or curb innovation.
The British government told the BBC that it wants AI to be properly regulated to encourage innovation while also “protecting people ’ s rights and our fundamental values. ”
“Our country ’ s AI strategy has a 10-year plan to take advantage of technology opportunities, and we will develop a management strategy to keep it on the right track, ” the government statement said.

Content: YouTube is developing an artificial intelligence tool to use the voices of musicians
YouTube is developing an artificial intelligence tool that will allow content makers to record audio using the voices of famous musicians.
The video streaming giant has reached out to music companies for the rights to songs it can use to train the new AI tool.
The companies have yet to sign any deal, although discussions between the two sides continue.
Last month, YouTube launched a new set of artificial intelligence tools, including one that allows content makers to create backgrounds for videos and another that allows automatic dubbing into other languages.
The company had hoped to include the new audio cloning tool in those ads, although it was unable to secure the required rights in time.
The legal relationship between artificial intelligence and creative work involving the use of people ’ s names, images and shapes is still under development and has led to lawsuits.
YouTube must figure out how to legally use this new technology.
It is not currently clear whether discussions about YouTube ’ s AI-powered audio cloning tool could help calm potential copyright issues raised by music companies amid the rise of AI-generated music tracks that mimic famous musicians.
The issue gained prominence earlier this year when the AI-generated song Drake went viral online.
Some musicians have embraced AI-generated music, while many others have called for regulations to protect their voices from being repeated without consent.
AI-generated music is currently in a legal grey zone due to difficulties in determining ownership rights for songs that mimic the artist ’ s unique voice but do not directly contain sound recordings or protected lyrics.
It is not currently clear if training AI voice cloning tools amounts to copyright infringement, although this has not dampened interest in developing the benefits of AI-generated music, as Meta, Google and Stability AI released several tools this year to create AI-generated music.
YouTube presents itself as a partner in the use of generative AI technology, having developed over the past year a lot of generative AI tools, although it is currently unknown if it can legally provide content makers with AI voice transcription tools without raising many copyright lawsuits.

Content: Amazon Alexa new feature users will be able to provide services in the voice of deceased relatives and friends
Technology giant Amazon (AMZN-US) said that the voice assistant Alexa is developing a model to copy human voices, and in the future will be able to change the default robot voice according to the user's needs, in exchange for the voice of the user's deceased relatives and friends.
Amazon announced the new feature Wednesday at the artificial intelligence conference re: Mars in Las Vegas, noting that Alexa can copy and imitate as long as it listens to someone for less than a minute.
In a video shown by Amazon, a child asks, “Alexa, can Grandma finish reading the Wizard of Oz story? ” Alexa confirms the command with a preset robot voice, and then changes the voice to a milder, more human grandmother voice.
Rohit Prasad, chief scientist at Amazon Alexa, said: “Our goal was to make memories last for many people when they lost loved ones during the pandemic.
Although AI cannot eliminate the pain of losing friends and family, it can make their memories last.
""
It ’ s unclear when Amazon will officially launch the new Alexa voice impersonation feature, or at what stage.
Amazon previously announced a partnership agreement with Stellantis NV to develop a range of in-vehicle software for the latter.
In the future, Stellantis will use Amazon ’ s smart voice technology, Alexa, to implement voice control, navigation, maintenance, e-commerce and payment functions for smart cars, which are expected to be launched in 2024.

    The Mohamad Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence claims to be the first AI university in the world.

    A team of inventors have received a patent from the US for an AI tool that can copy people’s handwriting.It’s able to produce text based off just a few paragraphs of a person’s original handwriting. However, the team said they’re being cautious because it can be misused for forgery.

    AI can clone your voice, and create deepfake images, and it’s soon going to come for your handwriting style too.

    A team of researchers at the Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence in Abu Dhabi have developed an AI system that can learn people’s handwriting style and generate text that looks extremely similar to their handwriting, the university announced in a press release in December. The researchers used a vision transformer, which is a type of neural network that can understand context and meaning in systematic data such as the words in a sentence.

    The technology only needs a few paragraphs of original handwriting to be trained.

    The team were recently granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the tool which can help people who have injuries write without using a pen.

    One of the inventors, Rao Muhammad Anwer, an assistant professor of computer vision, told Bloomberg in an interview that it can also be used to decode the famously illegible handwriting of doctors and even create personalized advertising.

    The tool, which is not yet available to the public, can currently generate text in English, and some French, but producing handwritten text in Arabic is proving to be a more challenging task.

    The inventors noted that the tool could be “misused” to forge people’s handwriting so they’re being very “cautious.”

    Anwer said in the release: “Handwriting represents a person’s identity, so we are thinking carefully about this before deploying it.”

    “We’ll have to create public awareness and develop tools to combat forgery,” another inventor, Hisham Cholakkal, an assistant professor for computer vision at MBZUAI, said to Bloomberg. “It’s like developing an anti-virus for a virus.”

    AI is being misused in various cases. People are taking advantage of AI image generators like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion to create deepfake images of celebrities. In one example, an image of Pope Francis wearing a stylish white puffer jacket and a bejeweled crucifix went viral on social media in March.

    There have also been concerns about AI cloning people’s voices. Actor Stephen Fry said in September that an AI system copied his voice from his narration of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter audiobooks and used it to create a documentary without his consent.

    There have been various deepfake videos of celebrities and politicians, including one of Florida Governor Ron Desantis acting as Michael Scott in an episode of “The Office.”

‘ Fake Kidnapping ’ with Artificial Intelligence
Jennifer Destifano, an American mother, received a call with a voice resembling her daughter Bree, 15, screaming because of an unidentified kidnapper demanding a million dollars for her safe return home, but her daughter ’ s voice was nothing but a scam and an artificial intelligence clone, while the girl was safe on a ski trip, completely unaware of the horror her mother was experiencing.
This is the frightening reality of the latest danger of the growing threat of AI technology that now needs just 3 seconds of sample to clone someone ’ s voice and turn it into a weapon against victims.
Destifano ’ s daughter has no public accounts on social media, but her voice can be heard in a few interviews conducted for school and sports, her mother said.
"I could hear her voice saying, 'Help me, Mom,' and screaming.
The kidnapper initially demanded a million dollars.
When she said she didn ’ t have the money, he cut the demand to $50,000.
Destifano was surrounded by other mothers who called the police while the mother was still on the phone with the scammer and also called her husband, who verified that their daughter Bree was safe.

Bloomberg: AI was able to accurately copy handwriting
Specialists of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in the UAE have developed a technology that allows you to accurately copy human handwriting.
This is reported by Bloomberg.
Scientists have created a model based on artificial intelligence (AI), which learned to imitate someone ’ s handwriting based on just a few paragraphs of written material.
The model they developed is able to study the context and meaning of consistent data.
According to MBZUAI specialists, their technology can quite accurately fake the handwriting of a particular person, including the most significant unique features.
The author of the study, Rao Muhammad Anver, noted that the potential of the new tool is huge - it will be useful both when deciphering the handwriting of doctors, and when creating personalized advertising.
However, scientists from the OEA note that the technology can be used by intruders.
“We will have to raise public awareness and develop anti-counterfeiting tools, ” MBZUAI Associate Professor Hisham Cholakkal said.
According to scientists, they have a lot of work to do.
So, the model has already learned to copy handwritten texts in English and French, but is not yet able to analyze the text in Arabic.
Earlier, scientists at Columbia University said that AI helped them find a new marker in determining the uniqueness of fingerprints.
As a result, the accuracy of fingerprint recognition has been improved.
The good tape is deactivated.

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. ”

Technology: Stability AI audio generator releases 3-minute song production feature
Thanks for reading the news about the technology: the artificial intelligence sound generator Stability AI launches the feature of producing songs for 3 minutes and now with the details of the news
Stability AI has just unveiled Stable Audio 2.0, an upgraded version of its music generation platform.
This system allows users to create up to three minutes of audio over the text prompt, which is roughly the length of the actual song, so it will also set up a full chord introduction and progression and conclusion.
In terms of the features and cons of the technology, first the good news is the existence of three huge minutes and the previous version of the program maximum at 90 seconds, just imagine a fake Christmas song that you can compose in the style of the song Rob Thomas / Santana, and another feature is that the tool is free and available to the public through the company's website.
It works mainly via text message, but there is an option to upload a audio clip, and the system will analyze the clip and produce something similar, and all audio files uploaded must be copyright-free, so this is not for the purposes of simulating something that already exists.
Alternatively, it can be useful, for example, to tinkle part of the drum or extend a 20-second clip to something longer.
But this is still music created by artificial intelligence, both as a talking piece and as a symbol of a possible future, which is great for reformers and bad for musicians.
The songs can look elegant at first until the layers start to appear and then things get a little scary.
For example, the system likes to add sounds, but not in any known human language, and I believe in any language that shapes text in AI-generated images.
Singing sounds like real people, and other times they seem to be vocalists filtered through outer space, it ’ s a great place in the middle of this strange valley, and The Verge called the songs “soulless and strange, ” and compared them to whale sounds.

The world today - the cloning of voices..
Is artificial intelligence threatening the future of singers?
You are now following the news of the cloning of voices.
Is artificial intelligence threatening the future of singers?
From the World News section and now we leave you with the full details
Mohammed - Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, July 4, 2023 11: 18 PM - There has been a controversy over the cloning of voices of current and deceased famous singers through artificial intelligence techniques to perform songs not performed or approved by the owners of those voices.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Singing
• Critics interviewed by Dot Al Khaleej disagreed on the extent to which AI will affect the future of singers, and how much it can replace them.
• It was the latest cloning by a young composer of a fingerprint similar to the voice of Amr Diab and put through a song that caused a great confusion because some believe that it is the voice of the plateau until the famous singer company closed it on YouTube and social media platforms.
• Previously, the composer Amr Mustafa cloned a fingerprint resembling the sound of the late planet of the East Umm Kulthum, causing a dispute with her heirs, and sparked controversy among specialists who considered this an abuse of the history and voice of Umm Kulthum.
• A wide controversy also erupted after one of the specialists cloned a fingerprint resembling the voice of the late singer Abdel Halim Hafez aka Nightingale, and the use of that fingerprint in the performance of songs by the singer Amr Diab.
Big lie.
For his part, the critic specialized in music and singing, Amjad Mustafa, said that the attempts to copy the voices of the great singers through artificial intelligence is a big lie and a distortion of the voices of the great Egyptian and non-Egyptian creators.
He added that the attempt of one of the composers to clone the fingerprint of the voice of Umm Kulthum, did not result from the attempt to approach in any way the real voice of Umm Kulthum, and any attempt to clone the fingerprint of the voice of any known singer whether current or late and make him sing a modern song is only a process keeping up with the "Trend" and in line with the fashion of so-called artificial intelligence.
Amjad Mustafa also said that trying to reproduce the voice of Abdel Halim Hafez or Umm Kulthum or even Amr Diab is just a waste of time, it is better for the composer who does this to give the melody to one of the sounds on the scene.
He explained that he asked the analyst Amr Mustafa when he cloned a fingerprint that he said was the voice of Umm Kulthum, asking him to present the melody to one of the current voices that perform Umm Kulthum songs such as May Farouk or Riham Abdel Hakim.
Amjad Mustafa called on the Arab ministers of culture to meet to put an end to this problem, which he described as distorting the Arab singing wealth, because whatever sound is reproduced is just a man-made invention and can never convey the same sense of the natural human voice.
Don't threaten the voices of the singers.
He stressed that, however, artificial intelligence can not threaten the voices of real singers or replace them, because the singer is not just a voice uttering words and only, but it is a sensation, and the feeling is what explains the difference between a singer and others, there is a singer whose voice is very strong but does not reach people, while we find a singer whose voice is less in possibilities but his sense and ability to express greater reach people more.
No matter how far artificial intelligence has grown, it will not match the creation of God, otherwise each of us would have made a voice capable of singing and everything would be permissible.
Helpful on condition
While the art critic, Kariman Hrak, said that in the case of relying on artificial intelligence to evoke the image of Umm Kulthum or Abdul Halim Hafez in what is known as hologram, while we listen to their real voices, this is useful and not harmful.
She continued in statements to the site "Dot Al-Khaleej" that if the adoption of artificial intelligence in the reproduction of the voices of the late or current singers and make them sing songs that were not sung by these singers, this is a problem, because besides it offends those voices, it loses the rights of their owners, and harms the music industry and its workers, because they will be replaced by artificial intelligence tools.
She explained that if we accept this idea with the living singers if they agree to it, this is unacceptable with the late singers, because it offends the lyrical heritage and the rights of the authors and composers who participated in making those sounds.
We hope that we have succeeded in conveying the full details of the news of the cloning of voices..

AI synthesis raises concerns about portrait rights
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has created a global boom, especially digital synthesis technology, but it has raised concerns about portrait rights and cyber security.
For example, American actor Tom Hanks, who recently became a victim of AI, warned on social media that someone using AI technology without authorization to make his photo as a promotional video for a dental care plan, but he can only emphasize that “it has nothing to do with the video. ”
Online screenshots show that "AI Thomas" is like a young man, and he intends to use Thomas's early film and television works to generate it through a face-changing software commonly known as "Deepfake".
$7.9 trillion in fraud worldwide
In addition, the US non-profit organization Global Anti-Fraud Organization (GASO) survey said that in the year ended August this year, the amount of global fraud amounted to $1.02 trillion (about HK $7.95 trillion), in 2021, only $55.3 billion; GASO explained that the number soared because the survey data is directly asked of the victims.
At the same time, the group mentioned that the new technology used for fraud is also a key point, such as in the past, online romance fraud cases usually do not show face, but "deep fake technology" makes victims more vulnerable to fraud.

Content: A new step to counter the "deep falsification" of singers' voices
US tech company Google is negotiating with music company Universal Music over a licensing agreement that could allow the voices of singers whose work Universal Music owns distribution rights to produce songs using artificial intelligence technology.
News of the talks comes at a time of growing concerns about so-called “deep falsification ” of voices and video material that allows the voices of these singers to be reproduced and used without their knowledge, which can deceive and mislead inattentive listeners.
News of the talks also comes in the wake of the massive spread of artificial intelligence audio recording "fake Drake" earlier this year, in which a robot was used to imitate the voice of the famous Canadian hip-hop star Drake.
Universal, which owns the rights to Drake ’ s songs among other stars and is considered by Rolling Stone magazine to be the world ’ s largest music company, criticized the introduction of the fake audio recording before it was removed from the music streaming platform Spotify and the Google-owned YouTube site.
Universal told Rolling Stone at the time that AI posed “a big question on the side of history that everyone in the music industry will take, and will it be on the side of artists, audiences and human creativity, or on the side of deep counterfeiting, fraud and denial of artists ’ legitimate rights ” to the financial returns of their talents.
A week after the controversial "Drake Fake" recording aired, pop star Grimes pledged to get 50% of the rights to broadcast any hit song produced using artificial intelligence in her voice.

Do not believe your eyes: How not to become a victim of counterfeiters on the Internet
The technology of creating fakes on the Internet has reached such perfection that people can no longer trust what they see and hear.
November 9, 15: 30
Cover © TASS / Sharifulin Valery
The dissemination of false information as a way to combat this or that enemy has existed since time immemorial and is used on various scales - from slander, defaming a person, to the spread of panic rumors in the ranks of the enemy during the war.
Modern technologies have significantly expanded the tools for creating false information - fakes.
Every year fakes become more realistic, and the process of their creation is easier.
Already, anyone can single-handedly create a deepfake video, almost indistinguishable from the original.
Deepfake is the technology of creating and replacing elements on an existing video about a real event.
Well, if it's used for a harmless joke.
But it is much more serious when such techniques are used for the purpose of political struggle or to undermine the reputation of a person, and sometimes an entire organization or even a state.

Deepfake is a very convenient way to “get ” a person on video to perform actions that he did not perform, or put words in his mouth that he did not say.
For example, the scandal associated with the distribution of the Belgian political party “Forward ” fake video of former US President Donald Trump, in which he calls on Belgium to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.
“As you know, I had the courage to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.
You agreed, but you are not taking any action.
Just blah, blah, blah, "Trump said in the video.
In fact, the President of the United States never said that.
It ’ s just that the Forward Party created and distributed the fake video because, according to its spokeswoman Sarah Vandekruis, it wanted to “draw attention to the need to act on climate change. ”
The victim of the fake was the speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress Nancy Pelosi.
On the Internet, a video was widely distributed, in which the Madam Speaker looks clearly drunk during her speech in Congress.
To achieve this effect, the falsifiers only needed to slow down the video a little and work with the sounding speech.
However, fakes in the West are used not only for internal political struggle.
Much more widely falsifications are used against external opponents.
And this happened even before the invention of digital technology and the Internet.
For example, the CIA seriously developed a very unusual plan to overthrow the leader of Cuba Fidel Castro.
According to this plan, on the Island of Freedom was supposed to spread rumors about the second coming of Christ, who allegedly opposes Castro, because he is supposedly the Antichrist.
To reinforce this lie, it was planned to use a submarine, which was to project an image of Christ on the illuminated clouds, and aircraft, from which loudspeakers “from heaven ” were supposed to sound the alleged calls of Christ to overthrow Castro.
Now the tools of falsifiers fantastically improved.
And from this, fakes become much more dangerous, because they can affect the opinions and behavior of large masses of people.

Fakes have always existed: previously, it did not require any deepfake technology or photo editing tools like Photoshop, but now, when the vast majority of people spend a significant part of their lives in the digital space, creating an alternative reality is easy.
It may seem that the abundance of information and easy access to it complicate the creation of fakes and prevent the spread of lies.
If you lie, then there will be people on the Internet who will expose you.
However, in practice, fakes spread faster than the truth, and sometimes they are untwisted to such an extent that fictional events are perceived as real, and people who voice the truth are considered crazy.
History shows what sophisticated lies the West is capable of to achieve its interests.
And if the falsifications were not exposed by the words of eyewitnesses or documents, it would be difficult to believe them.
Only one plan to expose Fidel Castro Antichrist with the use of a submarine is worth it, said the head of the working group of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation to counter the spread of false information, public control and security of the Internet Alexander Malkevich.
The problem of spreading false information with the development of digital technologies has become so urgent that measures to counter it are already being taken at the state level.
However, despite the efforts of the regulatory authorities, fakes only multiply.
And the process of their creation was especially active after the start of Russia ’ s special military operation in Ukraine.
However, it is possible to protect against fraud on the Internet.
According to Alexander Malkevich, common sense is enough for this.
Today, the spread of fakes is one of the key problems of the information space.
False messages are created and published on a huge scale, and although it is impossible to completely get rid of them, everyone is able to protect at least themselves from the information noise.
To do this, you should develop critical thinking, trust only proven sources and never succumb to information panic, ” he explained.

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.

Content: "People stop me on the street all the time, they say 'I don’t know you speak Mandarin.'"

Domo Arigato

While announcing the city's plan to handle artificial intelligence, New York City's galaxy-brained mayor bragged that his voice is now being cloned to make robocalls in Mandarin and Yiddish.

"People stop me on the street all the time, they say 'I don’t know you speak Mandarin,'" Adams said at a Monday press conference. "Conversational AI is amazing — once you put the script in, you can put in any language you want, with my voice."

For what it's worth, the thing Adams is referencing here is AI voice cloning used to make pre-recorded automated messages, not conversational AI, which is used to generate human-like conversations between a person and a machine — but there's not much use splitting hairs when it comes to this guy's outrageous antics.

As Politico points out, the robocalls, which per the mayor's commentary seem to have also been translated into Yiddish, Urdu, and possibly Spanish, did not disclose that they were generated with AI voice cloning.

To Adams' mind, at least, those concerns are beside the point.

"These are part of the broader conversations that the philosophical people will have to sit down and figure out, 'Is this ethically right or wrong?' I’ve got one thing: I’ve got to run the city," the mayor continued. "And I have to be able to speak to people in languages that they understand and I’m happy to do so."

Programming Note

In spite of the weirdness of the multilingual robocalls — and the cop-turned-politician's strange and seemingly false claim that he was once a "computer programmer" — the main thrust of the press conference was to announce the city's extensive "AI action plan," which includes the MyCity Chatbot, described as a "one-stop shop for city services and benefits."

"For the first time, business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs will be able to direct their questions to an AI‑powered chatbot rather than scan through Web page after Web page," Adams said. "That is behind us; AI‑generated answering is in front of us."

As a disclaimer points out, the MyCity Chatbot was built using Microsoft's Azure AI, which, in turn, has been optimized with OpenAI's ChatGPT in a sort of AI ouroboros situation.

The MyCity Chatbot is, as the mayor bragged, trained on about 2,000 pages of documents regarding city codes, permitting requirements, and "best practices." When Futurism asked the chatbot who Eric Adams and Rudy Giuliani were, however, it could not tell us.

During the presser, Adams — who infamously decided to relaunch the NYPD's notorious "digidog" robot in spite of it being widely despised — proudly proclaimed himself a "techie." If we had to bank on what we've seen so far from the city's high-tech endeavors under this administration, however, we'd be forced to call the mayor's bluff.

In November, the company (Open AI) launched its program ChatGT, which caused a stir in the scientific and academic community and began to spread widely by users of students, where some tried to use technology to circumvent educational tasks.
For example, the program allows writing articles and stories or even code just by asking the program to provide it with some commands and be ready quickly, where the program contains large amounts of stored data and computational techniques controlled by robots contain huge amounts of vocabulary and information that can by artificial intelligence link words and make predictions to appear in the correct and unique context that is not similar to another article, so it is used in educational circles. Similar to other articles.
Not only that, the program can be used to make summaries of recent news, write stories, divide problems and find solutions, produce attractive posts and messages on social media, write reports and e-mail, analyze large sets of data and get useful information from them, and to explain it to the reader in a simple way, for example when asked to draw a specific person in the style of Picasso, the program can do so with huge data about painters all in a few seconds.
ChatGBT is a fierce competitor to the search engine Google as Google is constantly working with sophisticated algorithms and also contains its own artificial intelligence technology, Google Assistant.
The company has sensed the danger because of the speed of the spread of ChatGT, where the CEO of Google to focus on building artificial intelligence products in the future, and the information provided by ChatGT is more accurate than Google by using a chat system that answers queries such as human responses via artificial intelligence.
It remains in the experimental phase now and each has its pros and cons and like any new order is started to be used negatively and then it settles to positive or negative depending on what the user sees.

Study: AI can steal your password by listening to "keyboard tapping" - 90% accuracy
Just "listening to you type" can also steal your password.
Recently, British researchers published a paper pointed out that they trained an AI model only through the "keyboard typing", you can know what text the user enters, no matter what application or device, the accuracy can almost reach more than 90%, so experts also put forward corresponding personal data protection recommendations.
According to the media "TechXplore" pointed out that a group of British research teams recently published a paper, the team by training an AI model to detect the vibration of various devices, including the keystroke of the keyboard, etc., can master the "sound characteristics" of each text after deep learning, and can accurately obtain the user's password after in-depth analysis and decryption.
Research shows that the accuracy of sound features captured across devices and apps varies, with iPhone recording achieving 95% accuracy, compared to 93% for voice in Zoom calls and 91% for Skype calls.
Either way, the AI is able to easily decipher clicks and their confidential information, with more than 90% accuracy.
Experts say that to avoid future information theft in this way, you can use the following methods to enhance your protection:
Changing typing style: Occasionally “pretending to beat ” when entering confidential information to confuse AI, creating fake knocks makes sound recognition more difficult.
Using multiple case changing passwords: Research has shown that switching the case of the “Shift key ” is more difficult to detect by AI, so using more complex and case-changing passwords can make it harder for AI to detect.
Use biometric passwords: For example, replace text passwords with non-percussive methods such as Face ID or Touch ID.

Amazon Alexa voice assistant will be able to reproduce the voice of deceased relatives and friends
In the past few years, AI ’ s reproducibility of human voices has also gotten better, especially with the use of artificial intelligence and deep fake technology (Deepfake).

Technology comes from human nature, Amazon Alexa voice assistant will introduce a new "imitation voice" function, as long as less than a minute of audio files, even the voice of a deceased family member can be restored, the future Amazon will update the Alexa system to provide this service.
According to CNN, Amazon announced at its annual AI innovation conference re: MARS on Wednesday (22) that it will launch a feature that can mimic human voices, which is to use artificial intelligence technology to mimic any kind of sound, even deceased relatives, friends and lovers can mimic.
Rohit Prasad, Amazon ’ s senior vice president and chief scientist, said the updated system was able to collect enough voice data from less than a minute of audio to make personalization services like imitation possible, without the need to spend hours processing audio files like in a studio.
The concept comes from the use of new methods to add more “human attributes ” to AI, and in the face of the technology ’ s promise to reproduce the voices of deceased relatives and friends, Rohit Prasad said,“ Although AI cannot eliminate the pain of loss, it can definitely keep their memories alive. ”
Amazon has long used recognizable voices to voice Alexa, such as Samuel Jackson and other actresses, NBA players, and more.
But in the past few years, AI ’ s reproducibility of human voices has also gotten better, especially with the use of artificial intelligence and deep fakes.
This kind of AI has been used in different places in the past, such as Hollywood movie star Val Kilmer, who lost his voice due to throat cancer, has teamed up with startup Sonantic to create an AI-driven speaking voice for him in a new film.
According to foreign media reports, the company uses audio clips of Fang Ji Mo to achieve speech like a real actor through the algorithm.
Although Amazon has not said when it will launch the update, many experts believe it has the ability and technology to do so.
However, the “Valley of Terror effect ” may have an impact on the introduction of personalized Alexa sounds, as recreating a sound that is very similar to a loved one, but not 100% correct, may lead to resistance.

As a foreign language instructor seeking authentic listening comprehension materials for low proficiency learners, understanding this technology's capabilities, applications, and implications is crucial for informed curriculum development.

Title:

Content: In recent years, there has been a growing fear among individuals that their technology devices are listening to their conversations.
While this concern has been largely dismissed as a myth, new evidence suggests there may be some truth to it.
According to a report by 404 Media, one media company allegedly sells the ability to listen to people ’ s conversations and use the data for targeted ads.
The report focuses on the Cox Media Group (CMG) and its product called Active Listening.
CMG claims that the technology can listen to consumer conversations through microphones embedded in various devices such as smartphones and smart TVs.
While it ’ s unclear whether active listening is currently in use or whether it actually works, CMG describes it as “a future-friendly marketing technique. ”
CMG also states that active listening allows advertisers to target their audience based on what they say in their daily conversations.
They claim that this technology provides an unprecedented understanding of consumer behavior, enabling them to deliver personalized ads that make the target audience feel like the company is reading their thoughts.
The legitimacy of active listening has been questioned, and CMG addresses this concern on its website.
They assert that it is legal for phones and devices to listen to users, pointing out the finer details of the terms of use agreements that consumers often agree to when downloading or updating apps.
While information about active listening and how it works is limited, it ’ s worth noting that big tech companies like Apple and Google have implemented pointers to let users know when their microphone is active.
This is seen as a response to privacy concerns raised by individuals.
Furthermore, the report reveals a list of CMG partners and publishers, which includes industry giants such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
This raises additional questions about the extent of data collection and privacy violations that may occur.
As privacy concerns continue to grow, it is important for users to remain vigilant about how their personal information is collected and used.
The sale of technology allegedly spying on conversations only amplifies these concerns and highlights the need for stronger privacy regulations in the digital age.

Artificial intelligence in the face of fake news
Change is the year of life whether we like it or not, and in the current age of technology change takes quick curves in which those who refuse to keep up or think about exploiting its opportunities for the benefit of people, technology is no longer a luxury, and many systems of life without it stop and many works depend on its existence, and because human nature fears the unknown and accustomed to adapt to reality emerged a state of pessimism with many with fears of dealing with artificial intelligence.
With the popularity of text chat technology with artificial intelligence "Chat GPT" (Chat GPT) over the past weeks, his answers have caused widespread information in several fears, such as the disappearance of jobs in the future that can perform their tasks with rates of success beyond humans, and concern about his moral discipline until he reached fears of the possibility of doing things that the human mind can not reach the limit of superstition.
The truth is that every period that passes for humanity is accompanied by technological revolutions that are accompanied by panic of negative effects, this pessimistic wave looks similar to previous generations when the television appeared, again with the advent of electronic computers, then with the advent of the Internet, and then mobile phones.
I don ’ t deny the legitimacy of this thinking, but instead of giving these fears a lot of space in our thinking, we should think about the opportunities that AI can help us to be creative, and try to understand what it is and what it is in order to put things in place.
It has become a mistake to say about many technologies and software around us that they work with artificial intelligence just because they have a computer or do some calculations automatically, such as a calculator, for example.
The concept dates back to the last century, it was defined in 1956 at Dartmouth College as computer programs that convincingly perform tasks that humans currently perform much and require high-level mental processes, such as critical thinking, memory regulation, and cognitive learning.
Certainly, the concept has evolved since then, so it has become a mistake to say about many technologies and software around us that they work with artificial intelligence simply because they have a computer or do some calculations automatically, such as a calculator.
All in all, the work of artificial intelligence depends on the analysis of the patterns entered into it and what distinguishes each of them, and then analyzes them and connects large sets of data with smart algorithms capable of improvement and development.
Many specialists have proved that simulating the abilities of the human mind completely and reaching the degree of intelligence and thinking is much more complex than the level reached by artificial intelligence currently, as indicated by various experiments in accusations of racial intelligence bias in the answers of some topics and racism in others, due to the fact that the thinking process in humans has the advantage of learning from previous experiences in thinking to solve current things, and thinking the human mind in the environment and feelings logically. A unique feature of the human mind that artificial intelligence does not provide.
For example, if you write a question for ChatGT about something in Arabic, you will get an answer in words that make you feel very reliable, and if you repeat the same question in English, there is a good chance that you will get a different answer with the same amount of confidence that is human.
Today, we are witnessing unprecedented results in the application "Chat GBT", which opened a creative field for many institutions and ideas to do work based on artificial intelligence, as happened in partnership with institutions such as Snapchat, Slack and others, and competing companies to develop software in this area, such as "Meta", Google (Google) and "Microsoft" (Microosft), which gives information checkers an advantage in the best use of open source During the process of checking the information, although there were previous models that threatened to mislead us.
If you want Obama, Trump or Putin to speak your words in a video, all you need to use is an artificial intelligence application to write the words and choose your favorite character to receive a video in which you can mislead the audience of social networking sites and can be distinguished from the truth only with the intervention of experts.
AI can be trained to collect and analyze vast amounts of information and data from reliable sources, track texts, recognize images and videos from open sources, and quickly detect systematic disinformation campaigns before they become widespread through social networking sites.
The various technical tools, despite their enormous results, are still not able to provide results based solely on technical analysis in the process of empirical verification in a typical form, the human mind is the main factor in assessing and collecting facts from various angles, and knowledge of the contexts and associated knowledge in the way of reaching the full truth.
Proper planning and thoughtful plans based on machine learning and artificial intelligence will change the course of the information audit industry to achieve the goal of combating fake news, and the way is open for creative minds of technicians and journalists alike to develop a bias-free version of information, and results only in the context of the event.
It is likely that private initiatives and efforts will take time for AI to be more welcomed in the journalistic community among fact-checkers and even to reach satisfactory results. The more AI learns verified and updated information and the more intelligent data it needs, the more accurate it will be.
In 2015, AP ’ s AI system was writing 3,700 quarterly earnings stories, 12 times the total of proxy business reporters, freeing editors to write in-depth stories about trends in the business world, according to Harvard Business Reviews.
It is likely that private initiatives and efforts will take time for AI to be more welcomed in the journalistic community among proofreaders and even to reach satisfactory results. The more verified and updated information AI learns and the more intelligent data it needs, the more accurate it is.
Finally, we are in an era where technology only needs a noble goal and people who are able to think creatively and with good intentions complete the equation of success in the service of humanity, humanity still needs to hurry to adopt these ideas, the need is great to combat false news and fabrications, and users of networking sites difficult to review the truth of claims in light of the inability of auditors to keep up with the huge amount of information circulating without the presence of artificial intelligence.

Voice identification has never been considered reliable enough by information security experts, since it can be circumvented by receiving a recording of a person ’ s voice and compiling it in the right way using audio editors.
With the advent of neural networks available to a wide range of users, the task has been simplified many times.
This fact was proved by an enthusiast from the UK named Joseph Cox, who bypassed the Voice ID system of Lloyds Bank with the help of a free version of the software from ElevenLabs.
recommendations
To generate his synthesized voice, Cox needed only five minutes of recording the present – such a volume of audio data is easy to obtain during a short telephone conversation.
It is worth noting that it was not possible to deceive Voice ID from the first attempt, but after making changes to the neural network settings, the enthusiast successfully coped with this task.
As a result, the bank ’ s system did not distinguish the synthesized voice from the real one and allowed Joseph to access his bank account.
According to cybersecurity experts, the use of synthetic voices in the coming months can become one of the popular methods of attack on bank accounts and financial services, so users should switch to other methods of identification and authentication, ideally multi-factor.

Content: Thursday, 11 January 2024 05: 31 GMT
Content creators are waging a counter-war on artificial intelligence.
(MENAFN- Al-Bayan)
The past few weeks have seen several lawsuits brought by news publishers, big and small, as well as comedians, authors, and other creative professionals who claim to unfairly exploit their businesses to create artificial intelligence that threatens their own people. The labor market, after all.
The New York Times has filed one of its most high-profile lawsuits, accusing OpenAI and Microsoft, the latter of investing billions of dollars in the paper, of illegally using millions of journalistic content to train large language models — the very creations that could replace the movement. The internet is ultimately search-driven, and generates income on both technology platforms and publishers.
The problem, then, is twofold: not only do publishers and content creators get fair pay for the content that trains these models, but AI is also expected to seriously disrupt the business through which consumers search for information on the Internet, and that would make the greedy tech giants of the past 20 years grab for rent. From the content creators it seems small by comparison.
Currently, browsers use a search engine to obtain information, showing them results that may refer them to the website of content makers, who can profit from (traffic) through digital advertising.
It ’ s a symbiotic relationship, but that doesn ’ t mean it ’ s equal, with content makers at the mercy of the profit-sharing terms that big tech companies are willing to offer, if any, since Google pioneered the ad-for-search business model in 2000.
But that began to change two years ago, when Australia and then Canada forced tech platforms to negotiate payments with publishers.
While this is better than nothing, the scale of these payments is described by experts as only a tiny fraction of fair value.
A recent study by researchers from Columbia and Houston universities, as well as the consulting firm Bratel Group, quantified the deficit.
They estimated that if Google paid $10 billion to $12 billion to U.S. publishers, that would be only 50 percent of the value of their news content.
The New York Times, one of the biggest news publishers, has earned no more than $100 million over three years.
Worse, AI is on its way to not even making this inconsistent relationship look good, so you ’ ll get a straight answer if you ask a question on OpenAI ’ s chatbot or Google ’ s Bard instead. Your status to the content maker ’ s site.
All while users remain inside the walled garden of the big tech company that owns the artificial intelligence platform.
To make matters worse, AI training has been conducted with the very copyrighted content that he himself is trying to evade.
Brands create their own virtual social media influencers with artificial intelligence so they don ’ t have to pay $1,000 or so for a single post to some real influencers.
Last year ’ s strikes by Hollywood actors and writers were related to this race to the bottom, in which software will perform more creative and white-collar jobs.
It is the fundamental, and perhaps inevitable, reflection of the starting point of the World Wide Web, which was about helping users to find and navigate the enormous original pages, the edges of which have grown with the widespread use of the Internet.
As Larry Page, co-founder of Google, told an interviewer in 2004, “All we want is to get you out of Google to the right place as quickly as possible. ”
But the goal has changed to user retention, as Google and other technology platforms have grown, concluding exclusive agreements with other companies, such as Apple and Samsung, to be the search engine of choice.
It has also acquired companies in areas such as digital advertising, mobile operating systems, social media, and so on, capturing more online space and keeping users on the platform.
Google was thus able to dominate search, and this in itself depended on the ability to claim ownership of copyrighted content.
After all, Microsoft and OpenAI are the dominant players in the industry, not Google's Bard.
But AI is just another, and perhaps the last, blow to the beating heart of surveillance capitalism.
It ’ s about getting users ’ data and interests, and then selling them back to us, in ways that lead to much lower input costs and much higher margins for platforms.
A new lawsuit filed by Helena World Chronicle, an Arkansas based news organization, in a class action lawsuit against Google and Alphabet, has indicated that the “illegal linking ” arrangement, in which the search giant exploits the publishers ’ content and reposts it on its platform, (Extended and exacerbated by Google ’ s introduction of Bard in 2023), given the chatbot ’ s training using content from the Helena World Chronicle and The Washington Post, neither of which received any compensation.
Regardless of whether chatbots will end up killing the search, there is no doubt that the big tech companies will be the winner in this iteration of surveillance capitalism, hopefully paying more for what they took.

Content: Artificial intelligence developed by the Israelis is able to duplicate films with the voices of the original
Israeli startup Deepdub has developed a service for translating video content into new languages using machine learning algorithms.
The company uses neural networks to generate the speech of original actors from movies, TV shows, games and advertising.
AI processes voices and then translates them into a new language, preserving the timbre, rhythm, intonation and other important voice nuances in the work of a professional artist.
Deepdub promises to solve the main problems of industries related to voiceover and duplication.
According to Aberdeen, an average of five minutes of storytelling takes an hour to work in a recording studio.
And if the dubbing actor wants to match the original track as much as possible, the time spent on dubbing can increase by another two times.
At the same time, the cost of such services is a significant part of the budget for filmmakers and video game developers - a minute of duplication of one person per language on average costs about $75 for a simple video.
The startup aims to create a one-stop solution for content makers who want to go international or reduce their own costs for translators.
Using synthetic voices based on the original voice patterns of the actors, the startup duplicates movies, games and advertising in the post-production phase.
According to the developers, in addition to reducing costs, dubbing with the help of neural networks gives another advantage - AI reproduces the voice of the original, so the viewer will always watch the film in the form in which it was conceived by the director and performed by the actor. "Our artificial intelligence models allow you to reproduce the characteristics of the voice, using no more than three minutes of original voice data.
The AI-generated voice in the target language can be reproduced at any level of expressiveness, including crying, screaming, talking with food in the mouth, and more — even if the original voice data did not contain this information, ” said Deepdub co-founder Nir Krakowski.
Additionally, Deepdub ’ s algorithms track facial expressions and lip movements of actors.
Thus, the output of the audio track of the startup fully corresponds to how the voice actors work.
The current version of the platform supports six languages, and the startup plans to add six more before the end of next year.
In the long term, the company also intends to take its algorithms to the next level – to teach AI to duplicate voices in real time.
Among the famous works of Deepdub Krasowski mentioned the English-language thriller “Every time I die ” 2019.
The startup dubbed the film into Spanish and Portuguese.
According to the developers, this is one of the first cases when a full-fledged film with synthesized voices was released in the world.
Recently, Deepdub raised $20 million in the series A round. The company will direct the funds received to improve its technologies.
