# AI Voice Cloning: Technical Potential, Ethical Considerations, and Legal Implications for Language Education

## Introduction

AI voice cloning technology has emerged as a powerful tool with remarkable capabilities to replicate human speech with increasing accuracy.

As a foreign language instructor seeking authentic listening comprehension materials for low proficiency learners (ILR 1-1+), understanding this technology's potential, limitations, and implications is essential for responsible implementation in educational contexts.

This report examines the technical foundations of voice cloning, its current applications, real-world examples, and the ethical and legal frameworks that govern its use.

## What is AI Voice Cloning?

AI voice cloning is a technology that uses artificial intelligence to replicate a person's voice with remarkable accuracy.

The process requires collecting just a few minutes of someone's speech without external noise, after which software creates a model of their voice that can be used to generate new content—even in foreign languages the original speaker doesn't know (Document 5349b610-c42d-4bd2-9fbd-2164f28d3d65_341497622).

The technology works by analyzing existing voice samples to train AI systems on the unique characteristics of a person's voice, including tone, quality, and pronunciation patterns.

Once this model is established, it can generate new speech that closely mimics the original speaker (Document e3ea8085-92aa-4c07-b7a3-bf017807b4e8_846579479).

Remarkably, as little as 30 seconds of voice recording is sufficient to create a convincing clone, and in some cases, even just 3 seconds of audio can provide enough material for replication (Document 74ea3903-8b96-4ace-8e0b-2334910cbec6_213036220, Document d646265e-72f5-4121-af97-b4c64a53201d_744238819).

## Development of Voice Cloning Technology

Voice cloning technology has evolved rapidly, with major tech companies investing significantly in its development.

OpenAI's ChatGPT recently added voice capabilities, allowing the system to understand spoken language and respond with synthetic voices (Document b1d18168-9058-4f42-9e9d-3beb41009680_490410864).

In the educational technology sector, companies like "易晨智能" have developed specialized applications such as "EZTalking," which uses AI speech recognition and pronunciation assessment technology that can identify each word and even syllable with precision (Document 77f9b977-0b93-4dd4-b1c8-79510123).

The technology has become increasingly accessible, with open-source AI voice conversion software available to the public.

While some original developers have stopped updating their software, independent developers continue to create new functionalities, making the technology more widely available (Document e3ea8085-92aa-4c07-b7a3-bf017807b4e8_846579479).

## Applications of Voice Cloning Technology

### Entertainment

Voice cloning has found significant applications in the entertainment industry.

A French video creator used deepfake technology to simulate voices of current and former politicians, including President Emmanuel Macron and his predecessors Charles de Gaulle and Jacques Chirac, having live conversations with users on the Twitch platform (Document 5349b610-c42d-4bd2-9fbd-2164f28d3d65_341497622).

Virtual singers like "AI Stefanie Sun," "AI Jay Chou," and "AI JJ Lin" have gained popularity, with AI-generated versions of famous singers' voices covering songs that sound remarkably similar to the original artists.

These AI-generated performances have garnered millions of views on video platforms (Document e3ea8085-92aa-4c07-b7a3-bf017807b4e8_846579479).

Character.

AI has developed a platform that allows users to chat with digital versions of almost anyone, living or dead, real or fictional, by drawing information from articles, news stories, books, and other digital sources to generate reasonable responses (Document 2f9c6346-e3ce-4ae9-b62d-e6800100a28c_205899371).

### Accessibility and Education

In educational contexts, voice cloning technology offers promising applications.

The "EZTalking" platform has been adopted by hundreds of educational institutions to help students with pronunciation assessment.

The system can detect phonetic pronunciation and use color coding to indicate score levels and learning progress, significantly improving teaching and learning efficiency (Document 77f9b977-0b93-4dd4-b1c8-79510123).

For language instructors, this technology presents an opportunity to create customized listening comprehension materials tailored to specific proficiency levels.

By generating speech with appropriate pacing, vocabulary, and grammatical complexity for ILR 1-1+ learners, instructors could potentially overcome the challenge of finding authentic materials suitable for beginners.

### Scams and Misuse

Voice cloning technology has also been misused for fraudulent purposes.

In one case, a high school teacher used AI to fake a recording of their principal making racist comments about Jewish and Black people, leading to the principal facing accusations and threats before the recording was proven to be fabricated (Document 74ea3903-8b96-4ace-8e0b-2334910cbec6_213036220).

"AI face-swapping" scams have emerged, with one victim reportedly losing 4.

3 million in just 10 minutes (Document e3ea8085-92aa-4c07-b7a3-bf017807b4e8_846579479).

Criminals can now clone voices with minimal audio samples, enabling them to impersonate family members in distress to solicit money from unsuspecting victims (Document d646265e-72f5-4121-af97-b4c64a53201d_744238819).

## Legal Implications

The legal landscape surrounding voice cloning technology remains complex and underdeveloped.

The technology's rapid advancement has outpaced the creation of laws that would protect and regulate it (Document 5fea1aae-929d-4fbd-a701-7c408562b4c5_847046914).

A notable case involved OpenAI and actress Scarlett Johansson, who accused the company of copying her voice without permission for their AI assistant "Sky.

" OpenAI countered that they had selected the voice actor months before contacting Johansson and had no intention of finding someone who sounded like her (Document 053995d1-99d3-4c03-a9f6-dde605ccec9d_19082730).

Under China's Copyright Law, while works including text, spoken works, music, and art are protected, voice itself is not explicitly included as a protected category.

However, using a singer's name and persona in AI-generated content can infringe on their name rights, personality rights, and music copyrights (Document e3ea8085-92aa-4c07-b7a3-bf017807b4e8_846579479).

Legal experts emphasize the need for laws to catch up with technological developments, as highlighted by a prosecutor who noted that incidents like the Pikesville High School case demonstrate "the necessity of letting the law keep up with technological development" (Document 74ea3903-8b96-4ace-8e0b-2334910cbec6_213036220).

## Ethical Challenges

Voice cloning technology raises significant ethical concerns.

One incident involved an AI simulation of President Macron giving an offensive answer about a French village name, leading to the immediate banning of the channel that hosted it (Document 5349b610-c42d-4bd2-9fbd-2164f28d3d65_341497622).

Questions persist about whether AI-cloned voices can truly capture the emotions and feelings of the original speaker.

As one commentator noted, "Can the AI-cloned voice carry the true emotions and feelings of the real artist?

" (Document 5fea1aae-929d-4fbd-a701-7c408562b4c5_847046914).

The technology also threatens to disrupt entire professions.

As the same document observes, "The big problem is that the huge leap that occurred in cloning artists' voices is immeasurably faster than the issuance of laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions like the music arranger" (Document 5fea1aae-929d-4fbd-a701-7c408562b4c5_847046914).

Experts warn about the potential for increased counterfeiting and deepfakes as AI voice technology advances.

As Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, noted, "The targets of threats are no longer just celebrities, but also high school principals and children.

Anyone can easily be attacked.

This AI technology affects the economic system and even the entire country" (Document 74ea3903-8b96-4ace-8e0b-2334910cbec6_213036220).

## Implications for Language Education

For foreign language instructors, voice cloning technology offers both opportunities and responsibilities.

The ability to generate customized listening materials with appropriate pacing, vocabulary, and grammatical complexity for low-proficiency learners could address a significant challenge in language education.

However, this must be balanced with ethical considerations.

When using AI-generated voices for educational purposes, instructors should:

1.

Ensure transparency with students about the use of AI-generated materials
2.

Respect intellectual property rights and avoid cloning voices without permission
3.

Use the technology to supplement rather than replace authentic language materials
4.

Consider the cultural implications of using AI-generated voices that may not fully capture the nuances of native speech

## Conclusion

AI voice cloning technology represents a powerful tool with significant potential for language education, particularly in creating customized listening comprehension materials for low-proficiency learners.

However, its use must be guided by ethical considerations and an awareness of the legal implications.

As the technology continues to evolve, it is essential for educators to stay informed about developments in both the technical capabilities and the regulatory frameworks governing voice cloning.

By approaching this technology with awareness and responsibility, language instructors can leverage its benefits while minimizing potential harms.

The rapid advancement of voice cloning technology underscores the need for comprehensive legal frameworks and ethical guidelines that balance innovation with protection.

As on

Content: New ChatGPT competitor lets you talk to “anyone alive or dead ”
Archival Image
The boom in AI applications that have surfaced online over the past few months has sparked a debate that seems not to end soon: after the popularity of apps like ChatGPT, tough questions have been asked about how, when and why we should turn to robots for company or answers.
Chatbots in particular have proven that AI can rise to new levels of both interesting and controversial, and the latest creation of these remarkable robots is the tool (Character.AI) that allows you to chat with a digital copy of almost anyone, whether living or dead, real or imaginary.
Developed by former Google researchers Daniel de Freitas and Noam Shazer, character.AI draws information from articles, news stories, books, and other digital sources to provide reasonable responses from individuals or personalities of the user ’ s choice.
Unlike ChatGPT, Character.AI focuses on entertainment, especially since its website highlights the warning: “Everything the characters say is made up. ”
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the creators of the tool said: “These systems are not designed to be real.
It is designed for reasonable conversations.
“Character.AI is useful today for entertainment, for emotional support, for the formation of ideas, and for all kinds of creativity. ”
Related topics to what you are reading now:
Character.AI differs from OpenAI in that it is not designed to become the search engine of choice for users, but on the contrary, the New York Times warned: “Companies, including Character.AI, are confident that the general public will learn to accept the flaws of chatbots and create a healthy state of distrust in everything they say. ”
It ’ s also worth noting that no matter who chooses to speak to through Character.AI, the responses will be written in regular English.
Jonas Thiel, a social and economic science specialist at a college in Germany, told The New York Times: “If you read what someone like [the philosopher Karl] Kautsky wrote in the 19th century, he doesn ’ t use the same language that we do today.
“But the artificial intelligence you ’ re working on (character.AI) can somehow translate its ideas into ordinary modern English. ”
The technology that character.AI develops is believed to add value to reality, especially as it provides an easy way to access the complex body of theories and philosophies, especially those formulated by scientists centuries ago.
Moreover, Character.AI seems to be a completely new innovation that serves a different purpose than ChatGPT and similar systems being developed by other tech giants, such as Google and Meta.
As for the moral implications of chatting with fictional versions of real-life people, whether living or dead?
It seems that the questions raised by artificial intelligence will not end soon.

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

Content: AI voice fraud is rampant, so people can ’ t prevent it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The voice on the phone sounded exactly the same, as a mother in the United States heard her "daughter" sobbing for help, after a man answered the phone and demanded a ransom.

But in fact, the girl's voice comes from artificial intelligence (AI) synthesis, and the kidnapping is certainly false.
Experts say the biggest danger of AI is blurring the lines between real and false, giving cybercriminals cheap and effective technology to spread disinformation.
A new type of fraud has rocked the US authorities, with criminals using a readily available, virtual AI voice replication tool to impersonate family members to scam loved ones.
Jennifer DeStefano, who lives in Arizona, heard the phone call go, “Help me, Mom, help me. ”
Distefano was "100%" sure it was her 15-year-old daughter who was in trouble skiing.
Di Stefano told local television in April: "The problem is not who it is, it's her voice... that's how she cries."
In a poll of 7,000 people in nine countries, including the United States, one in four said they had experienced AI voice fraud or had heard of someone else having similar experiences.
The poll, published last month by US security firm McAfee Labs, showed that 70% of respondents said they had no confidence in being able to “distinguish between real and fake voices. ”
Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley ’ s School of Information, told AFP: “Because it ’ s now very easy to make a high-simulation voice …
Almost no one on the internet survived.
These frauds are rife, "he 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.

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

Content: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

Content: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

Kaohsiung start-up team "EZTalking" developed "EZTalking" to introduce AI pronunciation evaluation technology, which can be used for each word and syllable recognition, has been adopted by more than 100 tutorial institutions, and this year's performance has exceeded 10 million yuan.
The industry is optimistic that the goal is to become the UBER of the language learning community, and it is expected to cooperate with thousands of companies by the end of this year, and the overall performance is expected to increase by three times compared to last year.
The Kaohsiung City Economic Development Bureau pointed out that “EZTalking ” won the Silver Award in the Kaohsiung Startup Competition in 2020, and entered KO-IN in the same year, specializing in AI speech recognition.
EZTalking ’ s CEO, Hsu Yongchang, points out that EZTalking introduces self-developed AI speech pronunciation measurement technology, which can be recognized for every word and even every syllable, providing a more accurate and detailed score compared to traditional voice pattern comparison.
Hsu Yung-chang said that the system can detect the pronunciation of the phonetic transcription, and mark the score level and learning process by color. It is expected that by the end of this year, AI grading function and Chinese learning system will be launched.
Wu Chang-hsing, general manager of EZTalking, says that in the early English tutoring industry, students need to report back the files after recording, and teachers have to spend a lot of time listening to the recordings and evaluating the batch changes, but EZTalking can quickly identify students who need to strengthen their English speaking practice, greatly improving teaching and learning efficiency.
Yichen is a new unicorn in Kaohsiung. “We welcome more outstanding teams to join the new team. The city will certainly be the strongest back-up for the new team. ”

Generative AI models have become a popular topic among technologists, investors, policymakers, and society, due to their ability to produce or create text, images, music, conversations, symbols, or videos that mimic human production!
It has become clear that 2023 is the year of the major generative models associated with artificial intelligence known as Generative AI Models.
Major global companies are competing to innovate and lead the digital economy by revolutionizing advanced technology.
It is worth mentioning that the next technological revolutions will rely on artificial intelligence, the latest networks, digital communications and digital security, and will be the lead for those who have the basic elements and technological infrastructure to lead the digital economy.
Recently, the world has witnessed a growing interest in general AI, especially after the amazing response that ChatGPT received from the world and the interest of users, where it saw a surge in the registration of more than 1 million users in 5 days, challenging other applications such as Instagram (1 million users in 75 days) and Twitter (1 million users in two years).
Currently, the number of ChatGPT users has exceeded 100 million users from all over the world.
Open AI ’ s ChatGPT and Google ’ s Bard are the latest large AI generative models known as Generative AI Models, based on large language processors (Large Language Models) where text data is used and machine trained in advance using algorithms and models based on transformers such as OPEN AI ’ s GPT3.5. Google's LAMBDA, and the latest LAMA language model from Meta AI, launched on February 24, 2023.
The importance of these models lies in their ability to generate content, create texts, summarize content, write articles or code themselves, or produce images, solve algorithms and provide solutions and suggestions in various sectors in health, economy, media, computer science, public information and education.
Opinions have tended to be used as a source of information and as an alternative to search engines, but there are challenges to overcome in generative AI models, such as inclusiveness, bias, and information quality.
These models have been trained on texts and data that differ in content, credibility and validity, and it is very important to adopt a mechanism to overcome bias and maintain neutrality, transparency, data quality and inclusiveness in the development of advanced AI models.
With the vision of our leadership to push the boundaries of knowledge and innovation and build a knowledge-based economy by promoting the building of sustainable technology to solve challenges in various sectors, industries and community life, we in the UAE developed Noor, an Arabic language processor model released in April 2022, which is a stepping stone to enter the world of large language models.
The NOOR model is based on a structure similar to GPT3 where it was developed and trained, and can be used in writing articles in Arabic, summarizing texts, and others.
The first Arabic-language article from the creation of Noor, the latest conversational robot based on generative AI models, was published in November 2022 in Al Ittihad newspaper, and was about sustainability and climate change.
Generative AI models can be used to develop new and more effective healthcare solutions, such as medicine, diagnostics, pharmacology and biosciences, helping to accelerate drug discovery for different uses within months, providing significant opportunities to reduce costs and schedule for drug discovery.
It can also be used to improve the learning process and facilitate access to knowledge and science using AI-enhanced learning skills.
Generative AI models will impact multiple industries such as pharmaceuticals and fields including advanced materials science, chip design, semiconductor, synthetic data, and digital programming, reducing product development cycle time from weeks with human experts to hours using generative AI models.
The emergence of generative AI models such as ChatGPT, Bard and Dall-E represents an opportunity to drive economic growth and innovation.
By taking a responsible and ethical approach to the development and deployment of generative AI models, we can help ensure that advanced technology is enabled in the industry and contribute to a more sustainable and beneficial future for communities and individuals.
It is important to note that generative AI models also present potential risks, including deep counterfeiting, copyright issues, bias and lack of credibility.
Standards and foundations for the development of these models and the governance of their use in industries must be established within an agreed framework by governments and institutions to ensure their sustainable use for good, humanity and a better community life.

ChatGPT upgrade to see heard will deal with image experts worry: forgery is more serious
Artificial intelligence technology company OpenAI announced on the 25th that its chat application ChatGPT now has the ability to "see, hear and say", at least understand speech, respond to synthetic speech and process images; but experts are worried that the chaos with fake truth and depth may become worse.
NBC News reported that OpenAI launched GPT-4, this is the most significant feature update for the chatbot, users can choose to voice conversations on the ChatGPT mobile app, and choose one of five different synthetic sounds for the robot, and can share images with ChatGPT, and highlight or analyze.
OpenAI said it expects to roll out the update to paid users within two weeks; the voice feature will be limited to Apple ’ s iOS and Google ’ s Android apps, and the image processing feature will be available on all platforms.
ChatGPT features continue to break through and accelerate as the AI race intensifies among chatbot development leaders OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic.
To encourage consumers to use generative AI in their daily lives, tech giants are racing to launch new chatbot applications and introduce new features. This summer, Google announced a series of updates to its chatbot Bard, and Microsoft announced the addition of visual search capabilities to its search engine Bing.
Experts have expressed concern about the synthetic sounds generated by artificial intelligence, worried that they may be fake and deeply fake, and it is reported that cyber threats and researchers have begun to explore how to use deep fake technology to hack into network security systems, and worry about becoming a new tool for fraud.
OpenAI is also aware of potential counterfeiting threats, claiming that the synthesized sounds were created by dubbing actors the company worked with directly, not collected from strangers.
Focusing on how Open AI uses consumer voice input, or how it will protect that data, the Open AI Terms of Service say that consumers will have their own input to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Earlier this year, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, making it the biggest AI investment this year, PitchBook said, and OpenAI reportedly sold $300 million in shares in April, with investors including investment companies such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

“AI Sun Yanzi ” deceives your ears,“ AI Change Face ” wants to trick your wallet!
May 26, 2023 11: 31 | Source: People's Daily Online
Small number
Recently, there are two hot events about AI: one is the "AI Sun Yanzi" popular network; the other is the "AI Face" scam.
Two seemingly unrelated things have caused the public to think deeply about AI double-edged sword.
"AI Sun Yanzi" explodes network copyright issue caused controversy
First of all, "AI Sun Yanzi" is definitely the hottest Chinese singer in the first half of this year, followed by "AI Zhou Jielun", "AI Lin Junjie" and "AI Wang Xinling".
Before I heard that AI can arrange music and paint, now you will find that the role of big stars on the stage, AI is equally competent.
It doesn ’ t even need to be in person, the singers ’ “new album ” is already flying around.
What the hell is going on here?
It is understood that some people use the existing human voice samples of Sun Yanzi, through AI training timbre, tone quality and pronunciation characteristics, establish its sound model, and then use the generated timbre to cover other songs, there is "AI Sun Yanzi".
This uses an open source AI speech conversion software, the original author has stopped updating and maintaining this year, but there are still many netizens independently developing new features on the current version.
The enthusiasm of netizens for the creation of virtual singers implies the recognition and pursuit of emerging technologies.
As early as ten years ago, the virtual idols represented by "Hatsune Future" and "Luo Tianyi" have gradually entered the public eye, and their voices are made from real human sound source data.
With the iterative development of technology, the "real person double" virtual singer represented by "AI Sun Yan Zi" made a shining debut, "invading" is not only everyone's "childhood memories", but also some legal ambiguity.
The new songs produced by AI sound cloning technology are very similar in sound and style to the singer himself, which has led many netizens to believe that they are true.
Is this impersonation infringing?
The scope of works protected by the Copyright Law includes written works, oral works, music and fine arts, and sound is not listed.
Therefore, the mere imitation of performers' timbre, singing skills and other characteristics, does not belong to the protection of the Copyright Law.
In addition, only on a video platform, the "AI Sun Yanzi" cover works have exceeded a thousand, among which the works of the singer Zhou Jielun's "Hair as Snow" and other works have even won more than two million views.
A number of lawyers said that the works of the virtual singer's cover show the specific song name and singer's name, which is suspected of infringing on the singer's right to name, personality, and the copyright of the song.
Even if some publishers mark the disclaimer of "entertainment only and not for commercial use" in the video, the huge traffic and economic benefits behind it are difficult to be clear, and there is no way to completely discard the infringement issue.
"AI face change" fraud attack someone 10 minutes to be cheated 4.3 million
At present, Sun Yanzi himself has responded to his own "AI version" of music.
However, the concern of netizens about the application of artificial intelligence technology has not stopped.
In May, Apple announced that it plans to embed a new feature in the new version of the software: mobile phone users who have gradually lost their ability to speak for various reasons can create a unique "personal customized voice" by recording 15 minutes of audio, and can still use the phone's call and video functions normally after losing their ability to speak.
In this regard, many users expressed concern that the technology is more likely to be used by criminals, such as through the production of fake videos and audio recordings, for the implementation of telecommunications fraud.
Such fears are not unfounded.
According to the police, not long ago a Fujian boss fell into the "high-end" fraud bureau, because of the credulous use of "AI for face" fraudsters, just 10 minutes lost 4.3 million yuan.
The rapid development of AI has brought not only "unemployment anxiety", but also a new challenge to "true and false discrimination". At present.
A number of EU countries have already begun to review the issue of artificial intelligence feeding data.
In March, foreign publishers protested against the copyrighted content used by ChatGPT in data training, demanding compensation from its company OpenAI.
In China, the regulatory system of the artificial intelligence industry is also being actively improved.
At the end of last year, the State Internet Information Office issued a document requiring that when providing in-depth synthesis services such as synthetic voices, imitation voices, face substitution, and gesture manipulation, users should be prompted to inform the edited individuals according to law and obtain their individual consent; and if the synthetic content may lead to confusion or mistaken recognition, it must be marked in a reasonable position and explain the specific information of the synthetic work.
In April this year, the State Internet Information Office drafted the "Generative Artificial Intelligence Service Management Measures (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)" to clarify the data of pre-training and optimization training, and must not contain content that infringes intellectual property rights.

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.

Om Kulthum sings "Boss Wawa"
I'm sorry.
Barwin Habib
Imagine that in your mobile phone an application through which you can choose any song you like - or hate - no difference - in the voice of your favorite singer, so you hear, for example, Om Kulthum singing "Bose El Wawa" by Haifa Wahbi, or Sabah Fakhri Salten in the song "Local Sugar" by Hassan Shakoush.
The issue is not a joke nor a rarity as was done by the copycats when singing a song of a known singer with the voice of another singer and his movements in order to laugh, but by the blessing of artificial intelligence this is achieved for those who are proficient in using it, and soon it will be available in our phones for free, so small and large can use it easily as he uses chat applications.
If hologram evokes the singer ’ s body in a three-dimensional image using laser beams as if he were present with us, it is now possible to make him sing what the user wants.
Perhaps what the composer Amr Mustafa did when he published a promotional advertisement for a song entitled “Aftakrlk A ”, from his melodies and the sound of Umm Kulthum, sounded a great alarm about the chaos that will affect our musical heritage. Western artists and musicians have been alerted to this upcoming monster. A large group of them launched the“ Human Art ” campaign so that “Artificial Intelligence ” does not kill human creativity. Artists may have to fight a battle to defend their work against artificial intelligence.
And this reproduction of the voices of singers is not only about the heritage and emotional aspect, and beyond our doubt, can the voice reproduced by artificial intelligence carry the feelings and emotions of the real artist?
The issue has an important legal aspect related to the rights of the voice itself, which opens the door to infringement and graft.
The big problem is that the big boom in cloning artists ’ voices is far faster than the laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions such as the music distributor ’ s profession, what the distributor has been studying for years in the higher music institutes, any free music distribution program can do in just a few minutes.
I would no longer be surprised if I, who spent half my life in the visual media, found my voice on a podcast I had never heard of, say, ice hockey.
I am not against technology or against evolution, but I think that artificial intelligence is a great leap in the march of humanity, I only hope that it will leave us something of its nature, how much I fear that what happened to the artists what happened to Hapanga, who was wearing a necklace in his neck to identify himself, and when he saw it in the neck of his brother asked him surprised: "Brother you are me?"
I wouldn ’ t be surprised if I found my voice, which I ’ ve spent half my life in visual media, on a podcast I ’ ve never heard of, for example, ice hockey.

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.

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

Content: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

## What is AI Voice Cloning?

Title:

Content: AI voice fraud is rampant, so people can ’ t prevent it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The voice on the phone sounded exactly the same, as a mother in the United States heard her "daughter" sobbing for help, after a man answered the phone and demanded a ransom.
Advertisement
But in fact, the girl's voice comes from artificial intelligence (AI) synthesis, and the kidnapping is certainly false.
Experts say the biggest danger of AI is blurring the lines between real and false, giving cybercriminals cheap and effective technology to spread disinformation.
A new type of fraud has rocked the US authorities, with criminals using a readily available, virtual AI voice replication tool to impersonate family members to scam loved ones.
Jennifer DeStefano, who lives in Arizona, heard the phone call go, “Help me, Mom, help me. ”
Distefano was "100%" sure it was her 15-year-old daughter who was in trouble skiing.
Di Stefano told local television in April: "The problem is not who it is, it's her voice... that's how she cries."
In a poll of 7,000 people in nine countries, including the United States, one in four said they had experienced AI voice fraud or had heard of someone else having similar experiences.
The poll, published last month by US security firm McAfee Labs, showed that 70% of respondents said they had no confidence in being able to “distinguish between real and fake voices. ”
Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley ’ s School of Information, told AFP: “Because it ’ s now very easy to make a high-simulation voice …
Almost no one on the internet survived.
These frauds are rife, "he said.

Content: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

ChatGPT upgrade to see heard will deal with image experts worry: forgery is more serious
Artificial intelligence technology company OpenAI announced on the 25th that its chat application ChatGPT now has the ability to "see, hear and say", at least understand speech, respond to synthetic speech and process images; but experts are worried that the chaos with fake truth and depth may become worse.
NBC News reported that OpenAI launched GPT-4, this is the most significant feature update for the chatbot, users can choose to voice conversations on the ChatGPT mobile app, and choose one of five different synthetic sounds for the robot, and can share images with ChatGPT, and highlight or analyze.
OpenAI said it expects to roll out the update to paid users within two weeks; the voice feature will be limited to Apple ’ s iOS and Google ’ s Android apps, and the image processing feature will be available on all platforms.
ChatGPT features continue to break through and accelerate as the AI race intensifies among chatbot development leaders OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic.
To encourage consumers to use generative AI in their daily lives, tech giants are racing to launch new chatbot applications and introduce new features. This summer, Google announced a series of updates to its chatbot Bard, and Microsoft announced the addition of visual search capabilities to its search engine Bing.
Experts have expressed concern about the synthetic sounds generated by artificial intelligence, worried that they may be fake and deeply fake, and it is reported that cyber threats and researchers have begun to explore how to use deep fake technology to hack into network security systems, and worry about becoming a new tool for fraud.
OpenAI is also aware of potential counterfeiting threats, claiming that the synthesized sounds were created by dubbing actors the company worked with directly, not collected from strangers.
Focusing on how Open AI uses consumer voice input, or how it will protect that data, the Open AI Terms of Service say that consumers will have their own input to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Earlier this year, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, making it the biggest AI investment this year, PitchBook said, and OpenAI reportedly sold $300 million in shares in April, with investors including investment companies such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

AI voice cloning is a technology that uses artificial intelligence to replicate a person's voice with remarkable accuracy.

Content: AI voice fraud is rampant, so people can ’ t prevent it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The voice on the phone sounded exactly the same, as a mother in the United States heard her "daughter" sobbing for help, after a man answered the phone and demanded a ransom.

But in fact, the girl's voice comes from artificial intelligence (AI) synthesis, and the kidnapping is certainly false.
Experts say the biggest danger of AI is blurring the lines between real and false, giving cybercriminals cheap and effective technology to spread disinformation.
A new type of fraud has rocked the US authorities, with criminals using a readily available, virtual AI voice replication tool to impersonate family members to scam loved ones.
Jennifer DeStefano, who lives in Arizona, heard the phone call go, “Help me, Mom, help me. ”
Distefano was "100%" sure it was her 15-year-old daughter who was in trouble skiing.
Di Stefano told local television in April: "The problem is not who it is, it's her voice... that's how she cries."
In a poll of 7,000 people in nine countries, including the United States, one in four said they had experienced AI voice fraud or had heard of someone else having similar experiences.
The poll, published last month by US security firm McAfee Labs, showed that 70% of respondents said they had no confidence in being able to “distinguish between real and fake voices. ”
Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley ’ s School of Information, told AFP: “Because it ’ s now very easy to make a high-simulation voice …
Almost no one on the internet survived.

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.

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

Content: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.

Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.

OpenAI's ChatGPT recently added voice capabilities, allowing the system to understand spoken language and respond with synthetic voices (Document b1d18168-9058-4f42-9e9d-3beb41009680_490410864).

Content: AI voice fraud is rampant, so people can ’ t prevent it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The voice on the phone sounded exactly the same, as a mother in the United States heard her "daughter" sobbing for help, after a man answered the phone and demanded a ransom.

But in fact, the girl's voice comes from artificial intelligence (AI) synthesis, and the kidnapping is certainly false.
Experts say the biggest danger of AI is blurring the lines between real and false, giving cybercriminals cheap and effective technology to spread disinformation.
A new type of fraud has rocked the US authorities, with criminals using a readily available, virtual AI voice replication tool to impersonate family members to scam loved ones.
Jennifer DeStefano, who lives in Arizona, heard the phone call go, “Help me, Mom, help me. ”
Distefano was "100%" sure it was her 15-year-old daughter who was in trouble skiing.
Di Stefano told local television in April: "The problem is not who it is, it's her voice... that's how she cries."
In a poll of 7,000 people in nine countries, including the United States, one in four said they had experienced AI voice fraud or had heard of someone else having similar experiences.
The poll, published last month by US security firm McAfee Labs, showed that 70% of respondents said they had no confidence in being able to “distinguish between real and fake voices. ”
Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley ’ s School of Information, told AFP: “Because it ’ s now very easy to make a high-simulation voice …
Almost no one on the internet survived.
These frauds are rife, "he said.

ChatGPT upgrade to see heard will deal with image experts worry: forgery is more serious
Artificial intelligence technology company OpenAI announced on the 25th that its chat application ChatGPT now has the ability to "see, hear and say", at least understand speech, respond to synthetic speech and process images; but experts are worried that the chaos with fake truth and depth may become worse.
NBC News reported that OpenAI launched GPT-4, this is the most significant feature update for the chatbot, users can choose to voice conversations on the ChatGPT mobile app, and choose one of five different synthetic sounds for the robot, and can share images with ChatGPT, and highlight or analyze.
OpenAI said it expects to roll out the update to paid users within two weeks; the voice feature will be limited to Apple ’ s iOS and Google ’ s Android apps, and the image processing feature will be available on all platforms.
ChatGPT features continue to break through and accelerate as the AI race intensifies among chatbot development leaders OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic.
To encourage consumers to use generative AI in their daily lives, tech giants are racing to launch new chatbot applications and introduce new features. This summer, Google announced a series of updates to its chatbot Bard, and Microsoft announced the addition of visual search capabilities to its search engine Bing.
Experts have expressed concern about the synthetic sounds generated by artificial intelligence, worried that they may be fake and deeply fake, and it is reported that cyber threats and researchers have begun to explore how to use deep fake technology to hack into network security systems, and worry about becoming a new tool for fraud.
OpenAI is also aware of potential counterfeiting threats, claiming that the synthesized sounds were created by dubbing actors the company worked with directly, not collected from strangers.
Focusing on how Open AI uses consumer voice input, or how it will protect that data, the Open AI Terms of Service say that consumers will have their own input to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Earlier this year, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, making it the biggest AI investment this year, PitchBook said, and OpenAI reportedly sold $300 million in shares in April, with investors including investment companies such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

In the educational technology sector, companies like "易晨智能" have developed specialized applications such as "EZTalking," which uses AI speech recognition and pronunciation assessment technology that can identify each word and even syllable with precision (Document 77f9b977-0b93-4dd4-b1c8-79510123).

Title:

Content: During the epidemic, online distance teaching is the way.
Kaohsiung start-up team "EZTalking" developed "EZTalking" to introduce AI pronunciation evaluation technology, which can be used for each word and syllable recognition, has been adopted by more than 100 tutorial institutions, and this year's performance has exceeded 10 million yuan.
The industry is optimistic that the goal is to become the UBER of the language learning community, and it is expected to cooperate with thousands of companies by the end of this year, and the overall performance is expected to increase by three times compared to last year.
The Kaohsiung City Economic Development Bureau pointed out that “EZTalking ” won the Silver Award in the Kaohsiung Startup Competition in 2020, and entered KO-IN in the same year, specializing in AI speech recognition.
EZTalking ’ s CEO, Hsu Yongchang, points out that EZTalking introduces self-developed AI speech pronunciation measurement technology, which can be recognized for every word and even every syllable, providing a more accurate and detailed score compared to traditional voice pattern comparison.
Hsu Yung-chang said that the system can detect the pronunciation of the phonetic transcription, and mark the score level and learning process by color. It is expected that by the end of this year, AI grading function and Chinese learning system will be launched.
Wu Chang-hsing, general manager of EZTalking, says that in the early English tutoring industry, students need to report back the files after recording, and teachers have to spend a lot of time listening to the recordings and evaluating the batch changes, but EZTalking can quickly identify students who need to strengthen their English speaking practice, greatly improving teaching and learning efficiency.
Yichen is a new unicorn in Kaohsiung. “We welcome more outstanding teams to join the new team. The city will certainly be the strongest back-up for the new team. ”

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

Content: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

While some original developers have stopped updating their software, independent developers continue to create new functionalities, making the technology more widely available (Document e3ea8085-92aa-4c07-b7a3-bf017807b4e8_846579479).

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.

In educational contexts, voice cloning technology offers promising applications.

Content: "We meet."
Om Kulthum sings "Boss Wawa"
I'm sorry.
Barwin Habib
Imagine that in your mobile phone an application through which you can choose any song you like - or hate - no difference - in the voice of your favorite singer, so you hear, for example, Om Kulthum singing "Bose El Wawa" by Haifa Wahbi, or Sabah Fakhri Salten in the song "Local Sugar" by Hassan Shakoush.
The issue is not a joke nor a rarity as was done by the copycats when singing a song of a known singer with the voice of another singer and his movements in order to laugh, but by the blessing of artificial intelligence this is achieved for those who are proficient in using it, and soon it will be available in our phones for free, so small and large can use it easily as he uses chat applications.
If hologram evokes the singer ’ s body in a three-dimensional image using laser beams as if he were present with us, it is now possible to make him sing what the user wants.
Perhaps what the composer Amr Mustafa did when he published a promotional advertisement for a song entitled “Aftakrlk A ”, from his melodies and the sound of Umm Kulthum, sounded a great alarm about the chaos that will affect our musical heritage. Western artists and musicians have been alerted to this upcoming monster. A large group of them launched the“ Human Art ” campaign so that “Artificial Intelligence ” does not kill human creativity. Artists may have to fight a battle to defend their work against artificial intelligence.
And this reproduction of the voices of singers is not only about the heritage and emotional aspect, and beyond our doubt, can the voice reproduced by artificial intelligence carry the feelings and emotions of the real artist?
The issue has an important legal aspect related to the rights of the voice itself, which opens the door to infringement and graft.
The big problem is that the big boom in cloning artists ’ voices is far faster than the laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions such as the music distributor ’ s profession, what the distributor has been studying for years in the higher music institutes, any free music distribution program can do in just a few minutes.
I would no longer be surprised if I, who spent half my life in the visual media, found my voice on a podcast I had never heard of, say, ice hockey.
I am not against technology or against evolution, but I think that artificial intelligence is a great leap in the march of humanity, I only hope that it will leave us something of its nature, how much I fear that what happened to the artists what happened to Hapanga, who was wearing a necklace in his neck to identify himself, and when he saw it in the neck of his brother asked him surprised: "Brother you are me?"
I wouldn ’ t be surprised if I found my voice, which I ’ ve spent half my life in visual media, on a podcast I ’ ve never heard of, for example, ice hockey.

Eleven Labs, founded by Matty Staniszowski and former Google engineer Piotr Dabkowski, has been a huge success and has raised millions of pounds, raising its value to more than $1 billion (£783 million).
The company also offers a wide range of other synthetic sounds, such as “middle-aged American male ” and“ optimistic millennials. ”
A controversial future.
As for the future of this technology, the question remains: will it still be a way to revive the legacy of late artists or will it spark further debate about the impact of technology on art and creativity?
It seems that artificial intelligence will continue to advance, which will allow us to rethink the concept of originality and creativity in the digital age.

Content: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

Kaohsiung start-up team "EZTalking" developed "EZTalking" to introduce AI pronunciation evaluation technology, which can be used for each word and syllable recognition, has been adopted by more than 100 tutorial institutions, and this year's performance has exceeded 10 million yuan.
The industry is optimistic that the goal is to become the UBER of the language learning community, and it is expected to cooperate with thousands of companies by the end of this year, and the overall performance is expected to increase by three times compared to last year.
The Kaohsiung City Economic Development Bureau pointed out that “EZTalking ” won the Silver Award in the Kaohsiung Startup Competition in 2020, and entered KO-IN in the same year, specializing in AI speech recognition.
EZTalking ’ s CEO, Hsu Yongchang, points out that EZTalking introduces self-developed AI speech pronunciation measurement technology, which can be recognized for every word and even every syllable, providing a more accurate and detailed score compared to traditional voice pattern comparison.
Hsu Yung-chang said that the system can detect the pronunciation of the phonetic transcription, and mark the score level and learning process by color. It is expected that by the end of this year, AI grading function and Chinese learning system will be launched.
Wu Chang-hsing, general manager of EZTalking, says that in the early English tutoring industry, students need to report back the files after recording, and teachers have to spend a lot of time listening to the recordings and evaluating the batch changes, but EZTalking can quickly identify students who need to strengthen their English speaking practice, greatly improving teaching and learning efficiency.

### Scams and Misuse

Voice cloning technology has also been misused for fraudulent purposes.

Title:

Content: AI voice fraud is rampant, so people can ’ t prevent it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The voice on the phone sounded exactly the same, as a mother in the United States heard her "daughter" sobbing for help, after a man answered the phone and demanded a ransom.
Advertisement
But in fact, the girl's voice comes from artificial intelligence (AI) synthesis, and the kidnapping is certainly false.
Experts say the biggest danger of AI is blurring the lines between real and false, giving cybercriminals cheap and effective technology to spread disinformation.
A new type of fraud has rocked the US authorities, with criminals using a readily available, virtual AI voice replication tool to impersonate family members to scam loved ones.
Jennifer DeStefano, who lives in Arizona, heard the phone call go, “Help me, Mom, help me. ”
Distefano was "100%" sure it was her 15-year-old daughter who was in trouble skiing.
Di Stefano told local television in April: "The problem is not who it is, it's her voice... that's how she cries."
In a poll of 7,000 people in nine countries, including the United States, one in four said they had experienced AI voice fraud or had heard of someone else having similar experiences.
The poll, published last month by US security firm McAfee Labs, showed that 70% of respondents said they had no confidence in being able to “distinguish between real and fake voices. ”
Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley ’ s School of Information, told AFP: “Because it ’ s now very easy to make a high-simulation voice …
Almost no one on the internet survived.
These frauds are rife, "he 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: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

ChatGPT upgrade to see heard will deal with image experts worry: forgery is more serious
Artificial intelligence technology company OpenAI announced on the 25th that its chat application ChatGPT now has the ability to "see, hear and say", at least understand speech, respond to synthetic speech and process images; but experts are worried that the chaos with fake truth and depth may become worse.
NBC News reported that OpenAI launched GPT-4, this is the most significant feature update for the chatbot, users can choose to voice conversations on the ChatGPT mobile app, and choose one of five different synthetic sounds for the robot, and can share images with ChatGPT, and highlight or analyze.
OpenAI said it expects to roll out the update to paid users within two weeks; the voice feature will be limited to Apple ’ s iOS and Google ’ s Android apps, and the image processing feature will be available on all platforms.
ChatGPT features continue to break through and accelerate as the AI race intensifies among chatbot development leaders OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic.
To encourage consumers to use generative AI in their daily lives, tech giants are racing to launch new chatbot applications and introduce new features. This summer, Google announced a series of updates to its chatbot Bard, and Microsoft announced the addition of visual search capabilities to its search engine Bing.
Experts have expressed concern about the synthetic sounds generated by artificial intelligence, worried that they may be fake and deeply fake, and it is reported that cyber threats and researchers have begun to explore how to use deep fake technology to hack into network security systems, and worry about becoming a new tool for fraud.
OpenAI is also aware of potential counterfeiting threats, claiming that the synthesized sounds were created by dubbing actors the company worked with directly, not collected from strangers.
Focusing on how Open AI uses consumer voice input, or how it will protect that data, the Open AI Terms of Service say that consumers will have their own input to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Earlier this year, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, making it the biggest AI investment this year, PitchBook said, and OpenAI reportedly sold $300 million in shares in April, with investors including investment companies such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

Content: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

A family member who receives a fraudulent phone call may suspect it at first, but when the voice is really a baby ’ s voice, it may be sending money.

Om Kulthum sings "Boss Wawa"
I'm sorry.
Barwin Habib
Imagine that in your mobile phone an application through which you can choose any song you like - or hate - no difference - in the voice of your favorite singer, so you hear, for example, Om Kulthum singing "Bose El Wawa" by Haifa Wahbi, or Sabah Fakhri Salten in the song "Local Sugar" by Hassan Shakoush.
The issue is not a joke nor a rarity as was done by the copycats when singing a song of a known singer with the voice of another singer and his movements in order to laugh, but by the blessing of artificial intelligence this is achieved for those who are proficient in using it, and soon it will be available in our phones for free, so small and large can use it easily as he uses chat applications.
If hologram evokes the singer ’ s body in a three-dimensional image using laser beams as if he were present with us, it is now possible to make him sing what the user wants.
Perhaps what the composer Amr Mustafa did when he published a promotional advertisement for a song entitled “Aftakrlk A ”, from his melodies and the sound of Umm Kulthum, sounded a great alarm about the chaos that will affect our musical heritage. Western artists and musicians have been alerted to this upcoming monster. A large group of them launched the“ Human Art ” campaign so that “Artificial Intelligence ” does not kill human creativity. Artists may have to fight a battle to defend their work against artificial intelligence.
And this reproduction of the voices of singers is not only about the heritage and emotional aspect, and beyond our doubt, can the voice reproduced by artificial intelligence carry the feelings and emotions of the real artist?
The issue has an important legal aspect related to the rights of the voice itself, which opens the door to infringement and graft.
The big problem is that the big boom in cloning artists ’ voices is far faster than the laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions such as the music distributor ’ s profession, what the distributor has been studying for years in the higher music institutes, any free music distribution program can do in just a few minutes.
I would no longer be surprised if I, who spent half my life in the visual media, found my voice on a podcast I had never heard of, say, ice hockey.
I am not against technology or against evolution, but I think that artificial intelligence is a great leap in the march of humanity, I only hope that it will leave us something of its nature, how much I fear that what happened to the artists what happened to Hapanga, who was wearing a necklace in his neck to identify himself, and when he saw it in the neck of his brother asked him surprised: "Brother you are me?"

Content: AI voice fraud is rampant, so people can ’ t prevent it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The voice on the phone sounded exactly the same, as a mother in the United States heard her "daughter" sobbing for help, after a man answered the phone and demanded a ransom.

But in fact, the girl's voice comes from artificial intelligence (AI) synthesis, and the kidnapping is certainly false.
Experts say the biggest danger of AI is blurring the lines between real and false, giving cybercriminals cheap and effective technology to spread disinformation.
A new type of fraud has rocked the US authorities, with criminals using a readily available, virtual AI voice replication tool to impersonate family members to scam loved ones.
Jennifer DeStefano, who lives in Arizona, heard the phone call go, “Help me, Mom, help me. ”
Distefano was "100%" sure it was her 15-year-old daughter who was in trouble skiing.

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.

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

Content: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

A notable case involved OpenAI and actress Scarlett Johansson, who accused the company of copying her voice without permission for their AI assistant "Sky.

" OpenAI countered that they had selected the voice actor months before contacting Johansson and had no intention of finding someone who sounded like her (Document 053995d1-99d3-4c03-a9f6-dde605ccec9d_19082730).

Under China's Copyright Law, while works including text, spoken works, music, and art are protected, voice itself is not explicitly included as a protected category.

Content: New ChatGPT competitor lets you talk to “anyone alive or dead ”
Archival Image
The boom in AI applications that have surfaced online over the past few months has sparked a debate that seems not to end soon: after the popularity of apps like ChatGPT, tough questions have been asked about how, when and why we should turn to robots for company or answers.
Chatbots in particular have proven that AI can rise to new levels of both interesting and controversial, and the latest creation of these remarkable robots is the tool (Character.AI) that allows you to chat with a digital copy of almost anyone, whether living or dead, real or imaginary.
Developed by former Google researchers Daniel de Freitas and Noam Shazer, character.AI draws information from articles, news stories, books, and other digital sources to provide reasonable responses from individuals or personalities of the user ’ s choice.
Unlike ChatGPT, Character.AI focuses on entertainment, especially since its website highlights the warning: “Everything the characters say is made up. ”
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the creators of the tool said: “These systems are not designed to be real.
It is designed for reasonable conversations.
“Character.AI is useful today for entertainment, for emotional support, for the formation of ideas, and for all kinds of creativity. ”
Related topics to what you are reading now:
Character.AI differs from OpenAI in that it is not designed to become the search engine of choice for users, but on the contrary, the New York Times warned: “Companies, including Character.AI, are confident that the general public will learn to accept the flaws of chatbots and create a healthy state of distrust in everything they say. ”
It ’ s also worth noting that no matter who chooses to speak to through Character.AI, the responses will be written in regular English.
Jonas Thiel, a social and economic science specialist at a college in Germany, told The New York Times: “If you read what someone like [the philosopher Karl] Kautsky wrote in the 19th century, he doesn ’ t use the same language that we do today.
“But the artificial intelligence you ’ re working on (character.AI) can somehow translate its ideas into ordinary modern English. ”
The technology that character.AI develops is believed to add value to reality, especially as it provides an easy way to access the complex body of theories and philosophies, especially those formulated by scientists centuries ago.
Moreover, Character.AI seems to be a completely new innovation that serves a different purpose than ChatGPT and similar systems being developed by other tech giants, such as Google and Meta.
As for the moral implications of chatting with fictional versions of real-life people, whether living or dead?
It seems that the questions raised by artificial intelligence will not end soon.

Om Kulthum sings "Boss Wawa"
I'm sorry.
Barwin Habib
Imagine that in your mobile phone an application through which you can choose any song you like - or hate - no difference - in the voice of your favorite singer, so you hear, for example, Om Kulthum singing "Bose El Wawa" by Haifa Wahbi, or Sabah Fakhri Salten in the song "Local Sugar" by Hassan Shakoush.
The issue is not a joke nor a rarity as was done by the copycats when singing a song of a known singer with the voice of another singer and his movements in order to laugh, but by the blessing of artificial intelligence this is achieved for those who are proficient in using it, and soon it will be available in our phones for free, so small and large can use it easily as he uses chat applications.
If hologram evokes the singer ’ s body in a three-dimensional image using laser beams as if he were present with us, it is now possible to make him sing what the user wants.
Perhaps what the composer Amr Mustafa did when he published a promotional advertisement for a song entitled “Aftakrlk A ”, from his melodies and the sound of Umm Kulthum, sounded a great alarm about the chaos that will affect our musical heritage. Western artists and musicians have been alerted to this upcoming monster. A large group of them launched the“ Human Art ” campaign so that “Artificial Intelligence ” does not kill human creativity. Artists may have to fight a battle to defend their work against artificial intelligence.
And this reproduction of the voices of singers is not only about the heritage and emotional aspect, and beyond our doubt, can the voice reproduced by artificial intelligence carry the feelings and emotions of the real artist?
The issue has an important legal aspect related to the rights of the voice itself, which opens the door to infringement and graft.
The big problem is that the big boom in cloning artists ’ voices is far faster than the laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions such as the music distributor ’ s profession, what the distributor has been studying for years in the higher music institutes, any free music distribution program can do in just a few minutes.
I would no longer be surprised if I, who spent half my life in the visual media, found my voice on a podcast I had never heard of, say, ice hockey.
I am not against technology or against evolution, but I think that artificial intelligence is a great leap in the march of humanity, I only hope that it will leave us something of its nature, how much I fear that what happened to the artists what happened to Hapanga, who was wearing a necklace in his neck to identify himself, and when he saw it in the neck of his brother asked him surprised: "Brother you are me?"

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.

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

One incident involved an AI simulation of President Macron giving an offensive answer about a French village name, leading to the immediate banning of the channel that hosted it (Document 5349b610-c42d-4bd2-9fbd-2164f28d3d65_341497622).

What are some risks regarding AI voice clning?

Questions persist about whether AI-cloned voices can truly capture the emotions and feelings of the original speaker.

Content: AI voice fraud is rampant, so people can ’ t prevent it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The voice on the phone sounded exactly the same, as a mother in the United States heard her "daughter" sobbing for help, after a man answered the phone and demanded a ransom.
Advertisement
But in fact, the girl's voice comes from artificial intelligence (AI) synthesis, and the kidnapping is certainly false.
Experts say the biggest danger of AI is blurring the lines between real and false, giving cybercriminals cheap and effective technology to spread disinformation.
A new type of fraud has rocked the US authorities, with criminals using a readily available, virtual AI voice replication tool to impersonate family members to scam loved ones.
Jennifer DeStefano, who lives in Arizona, heard the phone call go, “Help me, Mom, help me. ”
Distefano was "100%" sure it was her 15-year-old daughter who was in trouble skiing.
Di Stefano told local television in April: "The problem is not who it is, it's her voice... that's how she cries."
In a poll of 7,000 people in nine countries, including the United States, one in four said they had experienced AI voice fraud or had heard of someone else having similar experiences.
The poll, published last month by US security firm McAfee Labs, showed that 70% of respondents said they had no confidence in being able to “distinguish between real and fake voices. ”
Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley ’ s School of Information, told AFP: “Because it ’ s now very easy to make a high-simulation voice …
Almost no one on the internet survived.
These frauds are rife, "he said.

Content: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

Content: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

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.

Om Kulthum sings "Boss Wawa"
I'm sorry.
Barwin Habib
Imagine that in your mobile phone an application through which you can choose any song you like - or hate - no difference - in the voice of your favorite singer, so you hear, for example, Om Kulthum singing "Bose El Wawa" by Haifa Wahbi, or Sabah Fakhri Salten in the song "Local Sugar" by Hassan Shakoush.
The issue is not a joke nor a rarity as was done by the copycats when singing a song of a known singer with the voice of another singer and his movements in order to laugh, but by the blessing of artificial intelligence this is achieved for those who are proficient in using it, and soon it will be available in our phones for free, so small and large can use it easily as he uses chat applications.
If hologram evokes the singer ’ s body in a three-dimensional image using laser beams as if he were present with us, it is now possible to make him sing what the user wants.
Perhaps what the composer Amr Mustafa did when he published a promotional advertisement for a song entitled “Aftakrlk A ”, from his melodies and the sound of Umm Kulthum, sounded a great alarm about the chaos that will affect our musical heritage. Western artists and musicians have been alerted to this upcoming monster. A large group of them launched the“ Human Art ” campaign so that “Artificial Intelligence ” does not kill human creativity. Artists may have to fight a battle to defend their work against artificial intelligence.
And this reproduction of the voices of singers is not only about the heritage and emotional aspect, and beyond our doubt, can the voice reproduced by artificial intelligence carry the feelings and emotions of the real artist?
The issue has an important legal aspect related to the rights of the voice itself, which opens the door to infringement and graft.
The big problem is that the big boom in cloning artists ’ voices is far faster than the laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions such as the music distributor ’ s profession, what the distributor has been studying for years in the higher music institutes, any free music distribution program can do in just a few minutes.
I would no longer be surprised if I, who spent half my life in the visual media, found my voice on a podcast I had never heard of, say, ice hockey.
I am not against technology or against evolution, but I think that artificial intelligence is a great leap in the march of humanity, I only hope that it will leave us something of its nature, how much I fear that what happened to the artists what happened to Hapanga, who was wearing a necklace in his neck to identify himself, and when he saw it in the neck of his brother asked him surprised: "Brother you are me?"

As the same document observes, "The big problem is that the huge leap that occurred in cloning artists' voices is immeasurably faster than the issuance of laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions like the music arranger" (Document 5fea1aae-929d-4fbd-a701-7c408562b4c5_847046914).

Content: New ChatGPT competitor lets you talk to “anyone alive or dead ”
Archival Image
The boom in AI applications that have surfaced online over the past few months has sparked a debate that seems not to end soon: after the popularity of apps like ChatGPT, tough questions have been asked about how, when and why we should turn to robots for company or answers.
Chatbots in particular have proven that AI can rise to new levels of both interesting and controversial, and the latest creation of these remarkable robots is the tool (Character.AI) that allows you to chat with a digital copy of almost anyone, whether living or dead, real or imaginary.
Developed by former Google researchers Daniel de Freitas and Noam Shazer, character.AI draws information from articles, news stories, books, and other digital sources to provide reasonable responses from individuals or personalities of the user ’ s choice.
Unlike ChatGPT, Character.AI focuses on entertainment, especially since its website highlights the warning: “Everything the characters say is made up. ”
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the creators of the tool said: “These systems are not designed to be real.
It is designed for reasonable conversations.
“Character.AI is useful today for entertainment, for emotional support, for the formation of ideas, and for all kinds of creativity. ”
Related topics to what you are reading now:
Character.AI differs from OpenAI in that it is not designed to become the search engine of choice for users, but on the contrary, the New York Times warned: “Companies, including Character.AI, are confident that the general public will learn to accept the flaws of chatbots and create a healthy state of distrust in everything they say. ”
It ’ s also worth noting that no matter who chooses to speak to through Character.AI, the responses will be written in regular English.
Jonas Thiel, a social and economic science specialist at a college in Germany, told The New York Times: “If you read what someone like [the philosopher Karl] Kautsky wrote in the 19th century, he doesn ’ t use the same language that we do today.
“But the artificial intelligence you ’ re working on (character.AI) can somehow translate its ideas into ordinary modern English. ”
The technology that character.AI develops is believed to add value to reality, especially as it provides an easy way to access the complex body of theories and philosophies, especially those formulated by scientists centuries ago.
Moreover, Character.AI seems to be a completely new innovation that serves a different purpose than ChatGPT and similar systems being developed by other tech giants, such as Google and Meta.
As for the moral implications of chatting with fictional versions of real-life people, whether living or dead?
It seems that the questions raised by artificial intelligence will not end soon.

Content: AI voice fraud is rampant, so people can ’ t prevent it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The voice on the phone sounded exactly the same, as a mother in the United States heard her "daughter" sobbing for help, after a man answered the phone and demanded a ransom.

But in fact, the girl's voice comes from artificial intelligence (AI) synthesis, and the kidnapping is certainly false.
Experts say the biggest danger of AI is blurring the lines between real and false, giving cybercriminals cheap and effective technology to spread disinformation.
A new type of fraud has rocked the US authorities, with criminals using a readily available, virtual AI voice replication tool to impersonate family members to scam loved ones.
Jennifer DeStefano, who lives in Arizona, heard the phone call go, “Help me, Mom, help me. ”
Distefano was "100%" sure it was her 15-year-old daughter who was in trouble skiing.
Di Stefano told local television in April: "The problem is not who it is, it's her voice... that's how she cries."
In a poll of 7,000 people in nine countries, including the United States, one in four said they had experienced AI voice fraud or had heard of someone else having similar experiences.
The poll, published last month by US security firm McAfee Labs, showed that 70% of respondents said they had no confidence in being able to “distinguish between real and fake voices. ”
Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley ’ s School of Information, told AFP: “Because it ’ s now very easy to make a high-simulation voice …
Almost no one on the internet survived.
These frauds are rife, "he said.

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

Content: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

Content: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

ChatGPT upgrade to see heard will deal with image experts worry: forgery is more serious
Artificial intelligence technology company OpenAI announced on the 25th that its chat application ChatGPT now has the ability to "see, hear and say", at least understand speech, respond to synthetic speech and process images; but experts are worried that the chaos with fake truth and depth may become worse.
NBC News reported that OpenAI launched GPT-4, this is the most significant feature update for the chatbot, users can choose to voice conversations on the ChatGPT mobile app, and choose one of five different synthetic sounds for the robot, and can share images with ChatGPT, and highlight or analyze.
OpenAI said it expects to roll out the update to paid users within two weeks; the voice feature will be limited to Apple ’ s iOS and Google ’ s Android apps, and the image processing feature will be available on all platforms.
ChatGPT features continue to break through and accelerate as the AI race intensifies among chatbot development leaders OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic.
To encourage consumers to use generative AI in their daily lives, tech giants are racing to launch new chatbot applications and introduce new features. This summer, Google announced a series of updates to its chatbot Bard, and Microsoft announced the addition of visual search capabilities to its search engine Bing.
Experts have expressed concern about the synthetic sounds generated by artificial intelligence, worried that they may be fake and deeply fake, and it is reported that cyber threats and researchers have begun to explore how to use deep fake technology to hack into network security systems, and worry about becoming a new tool for fraud.
OpenAI is also aware of potential counterfeiting threats, claiming that the synthesized sounds were created by dubbing actors the company worked with directly, not collected from strangers.
Focusing on how Open AI uses consumer voice input, or how it will protect that data, the Open AI Terms of Service say that consumers will have their own input to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Earlier this year, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, making it the biggest AI investment this year, PitchBook said, and OpenAI reportedly sold $300 million in shares in April, with investors including investment companies such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

Archival Image
The boom in AI applications that have surfaced online over the past few months has sparked a debate that seems not to end soon: after the popularity of apps like ChatGPT, tough questions have been asked about how, when and why we should turn to robots for company or answers.
Chatbots in particular have proven that AI can rise to new levels of both interesting and controversial, and the latest creation of these remarkable robots is the tool (Character.AI) that allows you to chat with a digital copy of almost anyone, whether living or dead, real or imaginary.
Developed by former Google researchers Daniel de Freitas and Noam Shazer, character.AI draws information from articles, news stories, books, and other digital sources to provide reasonable responses from individuals or personalities of the user ’ s choice.
Unlike ChatGPT, Character.AI focuses on entertainment, especially since its website highlights the warning: “Everything the characters say is made up. ”
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the creators of the tool said: “These systems are not designed to be real.
It is designed for reasonable conversations.
“Character.AI is useful today for entertainment, for emotional support, for the formation of ideas, and for all kinds of creativity. ”

“But the artificial intelligence you ’ re working on (character.AI) can somehow translate its ideas into ordinary modern English. ”
The technology that character.AI develops is believed to add value to reality, especially as it provides an easy way to access the complex body of theories and philosophies, especially those formulated by scientists centuries ago.
Moreover, Character.AI seems to be a completely new innovation that serves a different purpose than ChatGPT and similar systems being developed by other tech giants, such as Google and Meta.
As for the moral implications of chatting with fictional versions of real-life people, whether living or dead?
It seems that the questions raised by artificial intelligence will not end soon.

The First Jordanian International Conference on Arabic Language in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)
Amman, 27 December (Petra) - The first Jordanian International Conference on Arabic Language in the Age of Artificial Intelligence kicked off on Wednesday at the headquarters of the Jordanian Arabic Language Academy.
During the opening of the two-day conference, Dr. Mohammed Adnan Al-Bakhit, President of the Society, said: “One of the advantages of the Arab-Islamic civilization is that it absorbed all other civilizations and took what is consistent with the faith and isolated what is different with it, but the Arab civilization did not stand hostile towards other civilizations and cultures, even the so-called difference, whether religious or otherwise. ” To the journey of the Arabic manuscript in the world and its role in the transfer of knowledge to the world.
He pointed out that the Arab world can not avoid the new arrival of artificial intelligence and new cyber technologies, stressing the urgent need to benefit from the ability of the Arabic language to derive and integrate in the construction of new terms related to artificial intelligence and the digital development witnessed by the world.
He pointed to the seriousness of the new terms and the need to define them, pointing out that the content of the Arabic language in Al-Shabaka represents less than 1%.
In his speech, Dr. Abdul Majid Naseer, Chairman of the Preparatory Committee for the Conference, pointed out that this conference is the first of its kind at the level of Arab universities or similar in the Arab world.
He reviewed how the idea of   the conference emerged through the Committee on Arabic Language and Technology in the Academy, pointing out that this conference will be the first of a series of conferences on the subject of Arabic language and artificial intelligence.
In the first session, which was chaired by the member of the Academy, Dr. Ahmed Hyassat, spoke in the axis of artificial intelligence and language understanding by the member of the Academy, Dr. Jafar Ababneh and the engineer Mamoun Al-Hattab from the House of Computing Text.
Dr. Ababneh said that language is a human phenomenon with a complex system, and is not a simple procedural question, but is the result of a cognitive process that begins since the message is an idea in the mind, and ends when the idea is realized sensually in the world of reality in a sentence or phrase or a broader text.
He pointed out that it is not easy to analyze and synthesize the language, pointing to what is going on in machine translation and applications of artificial intelligence, explaining that machine translation has failed to reach the stage of perfection only in texts where words have specific meanings and committed to arrange grammatical elements in a fixed order that does not change and does not present, delay or delete. Artistic, no meaning shadows, no emotional or intellectual projections.
He pointed out that artificial intelligence has succeeded more in statistical linguistic applications based on the storage, classification and retrieval of language words and texts, but it is still unable to explore all its secrets.
He reviewed a number of the nature of the challenges and problems facing programmers in all components of the Arabic language.
In turn, Hattab presented in his paper a critical analysis of the linguistic capabilities of modern AI systems that mimic aspects of the way humans learn language, reviewing how modern language models learn language, how this knowledge is represented and how close the way machines understand natural language is.
He discussed how artificial intelligence systems know what they know from the basic elements and processes adopted, namely artificial neural networks, training and adaptation processes.
He also addressed the topic of artificial intelligence and language understanding, reviewing aspects of the current abilities to understand linguistic models of natural language, which are superficial understanding (structure), deep understanding (semantics), contextual understanding and maqam understanding.
In his paper, he pointed to the role of linguists in the development of artificial intelligence systems to serve the Arabic language, reviewing the areas of work of linguists to support artificial intelligence systems.
In the same session, the President of the International Institute for Quran Computing and Islamic Sciences and Professor at the University of Jordan, Dr. Mohammed Zaki Khodr, spoke about some of the available AI software and its uses and examined its capabilities to deal with the Arabic language to show the progress it has made and the shortcomings it suffers from.
He pointed out that the challenges in the use of the Arabic language in artificial intelligence systems are divided into: spelling and formation, grammar and drainage, and automatic understanding, which depends on several things, including machine translation, expression and rhetoric, understanding of speech and pronunciation and speech integrity.
He provided experiments with examples that reflect the response of some AI systems to aspects of these challenges.
In turn, the researcher in the field of big data science and professor of computer science at Zaytouna University of Jordan, Dr. Zoher Al-Saai, and accompanied by students Loujain Asfour and Liyan Hayasat, presented her paper entitled "Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing the Arabic Language: A Literary Review".
Dr. Al-Saai said that despite all the opportunities offered by technology, the Arabic language faces many challenges in the era of artificial intelligence, pointing out that her paper is based on understanding how artificial intelligence applications can radically transform the development and improvement of the Arabic language.
To promote the use of artificial intelligence in improving and developing the Arabic language, she highlighted in her paper the need to invest in future research and development, promote international cooperation and knowledge exchange, develop advanced technological tools and software, promote awareness and digital education, and support education and training.
In the second session, chaired by Dr. Al-Saai, the Iraqi researcher from the International Institute for Computing the Holy Quran and Islamic Sciences through Remote Communication Technology (Zoom), Dr. Hassan Muzaffar Al-Rizo, said in his paper entitled “Computerized Linguistic Code: The Ambient Dictionary of Fairuz Abadi as a Model ”; the techniques of Computerized Obstetric Intelligence impose a question that provide linguistic ammunition Computerized for the purpose of deriving from its material in the practice of various types of processors that it employs in the generation of texts, the manufacture of answers to questions, the shortening of texts, translation, and various other applications.
Dr. Al-Razo pointed out that the process of digitizing texts cannot solve this problem and meet the needs of intelligent computerized processors, because what is practiced by the process of digitization does not exceed the limits of converting text from the paper print to the formation of copies that can be stored in the digital environment with the absence of structure of these texts. Computerized unless it goes through a series of natural language processors and leaning on the rich linguistic repertoire that Turquoise Abadi has deposited in his famous language lexicon “The Ocean Sea ”.
In his paper, he presented through a series of natural language processors the generation of a computerized blog, a visualization of the detection of some areas of semantic analysis of vocabulary, and their aggregation in a computerized space where further exploration and linguistic modification can be practiced to produce a linguistic repertoire that can be invested in supporting the generative intelligence treatments that have established their presence in the contemporary cognitive space.
In the same session, AI researcher Dr. Siddiq Bsou, from Ferhat Abbas University in Algeria, presented through his paper entitled “Automated Analysis of Emotions in Literary Texts ”, the stages of collecting and building a wide range of Arabic commentaries and explaining the techniques used in cleaning and processing the collected data.
In this context, he classified "feeling" into three categories; positive, negative and neutral, relying on the study of six algorithms for classifying texts.
In turn, Dr. Mohammed Abu Shariah from the University of Jordan presented in his paper entitled “Automatic recognition of classical Arabic speech using deep learning methods ”, the computerization of Arabic language, and classical especially through speech recognition technology, noting that this technology is based on the conversion of spoken and spoken speech into a series of texts written in the language of interest.
He gave a detailed explanation of the steps of designing, developing and evaluating the classical Arabic speech recognition system and its components using various methods such as the statistical hidden Markov model.
Dr. Assel Al-Qudah, Professor of Computer Science at Al-Zaytouna University, concluded the session with her paper entitled "Automatic recognition of classical Arabic speech for people with vocal disorders", which began by reviewing the problem of vocal disorders, its definition and types.
She spoke about the textual ammunition available for phonetic disorders, the textual and phonetic repertoire she employed in her paper, and the verbal dictionary that has been developed in studies and used in this paper.

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

Kaohsiung start-up team "EZTalking" developed "EZTalking" to introduce AI pronunciation evaluation technology, which can be used for each word and syllable recognition, has been adopted by more than 100 tutorial institutions, and this year's performance has exceeded 10 million yuan.
The industry is optimistic that the goal is to become the UBER of the language learning community, and it is expected to cooperate with thousands of companies by the end of this year, and the overall performance is expected to increase by three times compared to last year.
The Kaohsiung City Economic Development Bureau pointed out that “EZTalking ” won the Silver Award in the Kaohsiung Startup Competition in 2020, and entered KO-IN in the same year, specializing in AI speech recognition.
EZTalking ’ s CEO, Hsu Yongchang, points out that EZTalking introduces self-developed AI speech pronunciation measurement technology, which can be recognized for every word and even every syllable, providing a more accurate and detailed score compared to traditional voice pattern comparison.
Hsu Yung-chang said that the system can detect the pronunciation of the phonetic transcription, and mark the score level and learning process by color. It is expected that by the end of this year, AI grading function and Chinese learning system will be launched.
Wu Chang-hsing, general manager of EZTalking, says that in the early English tutoring industry, students need to report back the files after recording, and teachers have to spend a lot of time listening to the recordings and evaluating the batch changes, but EZTalking can quickly identify students who need to strengthen their English speaking practice, greatly improving teaching and learning efficiency.
Yichen is a new unicorn in Kaohsiung. “We welcome more outstanding teams to join the new team. The city will certainly be the strongest back-up for the new team. ”

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: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

ChatGPT upgrade to see heard will deal with image experts worry: forgery is more serious
Artificial intelligence technology company OpenAI announced on the 25th that its chat application ChatGPT now has the ability to "see, hear and say", at least understand speech, respond to synthetic speech and process images; but experts are worried that the chaos with fake truth and depth may become worse.
NBC News reported that OpenAI launched GPT-4, this is the most significant feature update for the chatbot, users can choose to voice conversations on the ChatGPT mobile app, and choose one of five different synthetic sounds for the robot, and can share images with ChatGPT, and highlight or analyze.
OpenAI said it expects to roll out the update to paid users within two weeks; the voice feature will be limited to Apple ’ s iOS and Google ’ s Android apps, and the image processing feature will be available on all platforms.
ChatGPT features continue to break through and accelerate as the AI race intensifies among chatbot development leaders OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic.
To encourage consumers to use generative AI in their daily lives, tech giants are racing to launch new chatbot applications and introduce new features. This summer, Google announced a series of updates to its chatbot Bard, and Microsoft announced the addition of visual search capabilities to its search engine Bing.
Experts have expressed concern about the synthetic sounds generated by artificial intelligence, worried that they may be fake and deeply fake, and it is reported that cyber threats and researchers have begun to explore how to use deep fake technology to hack into network security systems, and worry about becoming a new tool for fraud.
OpenAI is also aware of potential counterfeiting threats, claiming that the synthesized sounds were created by dubbing actors the company worked with directly, not collected from strangers.
Focusing on how Open AI uses consumer voice input, or how it will protect that data, the Open AI Terms of Service say that consumers will have their own input to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Earlier this year, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, making it the biggest AI investment this year, PitchBook said, and OpenAI reportedly sold $300 million in shares in April, with investors including investment companies such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

Om Kulthum sings "Boss Wawa"
I'm sorry.
Barwin Habib
Imagine that in your mobile phone an application through which you can choose any song you like - or hate - no difference - in the voice of your favorite singer, so you hear, for example, Om Kulthum singing "Bose El Wawa" by Haifa Wahbi, or Sabah Fakhri Salten in the song "Local Sugar" by Hassan Shakoush.
The issue is not a joke nor a rarity as was done by the copycats when singing a song of a known singer with the voice of another singer and his movements in order to laugh, but by the blessing of artificial intelligence this is achieved for those who are proficient in using it, and soon it will be available in our phones for free, so small and large can use it easily as he uses chat applications.
If hologram evokes the singer ’ s body in a three-dimensional image using laser beams as if he were present with us, it is now possible to make him sing what the user wants.
Perhaps what the composer Amr Mustafa did when he published a promotional advertisement for a song entitled “Aftakrlk A ”, from his melodies and the sound of Umm Kulthum, sounded a great alarm about the chaos that will affect our musical heritage. Western artists and musicians have been alerted to this upcoming monster. A large group of them launched the“ Human Art ” campaign so that “Artificial Intelligence ” does not kill human creativity. Artists may have to fight a battle to defend their work against artificial intelligence.
And this reproduction of the voices of singers is not only about the heritage and emotional aspect, and beyond our doubt, can the voice reproduced by artificial intelligence carry the feelings and emotions of the real artist?
The issue has an important legal aspect related to the rights of the voice itself, which opens the door to infringement and graft.

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: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

Content: New ChatGPT competitor lets you talk to “anyone alive or dead ”
Archival Image
The boom in AI applications that have surfaced online over the past few months has sparked a debate that seems not to end soon: after the popularity of apps like ChatGPT, tough questions have been asked about how, when and why we should turn to robots for company or answers.
Chatbots in particular have proven that AI can rise to new levels of both interesting and controversial, and the latest creation of these remarkable robots is the tool (Character.AI) that allows you to chat with a digital copy of almost anyone, whether living or dead, real or imaginary.
Developed by former Google researchers Daniel de Freitas and Noam Shazer, character.AI draws information from articles, news stories, books, and other digital sources to provide reasonable responses from individuals or personalities of the user ’ s choice.
Unlike ChatGPT, Character.AI focuses on entertainment, especially since its website highlights the warning: “Everything the characters say is made up. ”
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the creators of the tool said: “These systems are not designed to be real.
It is designed for reasonable conversations.
“Character.AI is useful today for entertainment, for emotional support, for the formation of ideas, and for all kinds of creativity. ”
Related topics to what you are reading now:
Character.AI differs from OpenAI in that it is not designed to become the search engine of choice for users, but on the contrary, the New York Times warned: “Companies, including Character.AI, are confident that the general public will learn to accept the flaws of chatbots and create a healthy state of distrust in everything they say. ”
It ’ s also worth noting that no matter who chooses to speak to through Character.AI, the responses will be written in regular English.
Jonas Thiel, a social and economic science specialist at a college in Germany, told The New York Times: “If you read what someone like [the philosopher Karl] Kautsky wrote in the 19th century, he doesn ’ t use the same language that we do today.
“But the artificial intelligence you ’ re working on (character.AI) can somehow translate its ideas into ordinary modern English. ”
The technology that character.AI develops is believed to add value to reality, especially as it provides an easy way to access the complex body of theories and philosophies, especially those formulated by scientists centuries ago.
Moreover, Character.AI seems to be a completely new innovation that serves a different purpose than ChatGPT and similar systems being developed by other tech giants, such as Google and Meta.
As for the moral implications of chatting with fictional versions of real-life people, whether living or dead?
It seems that the questions raised by artificial intelligence will not end soon.

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

Kaohsiung start-up team "EZTalking" developed "EZTalking" to introduce AI pronunciation evaluation technology, which can be used for each word and syllable recognition, has been adopted by more than 100 tutorial institutions, and this year's performance has exceeded 10 million yuan.
The industry is optimistic that the goal is to become the UBER of the language learning community, and it is expected to cooperate with thousands of companies by the end of this year, and the overall performance is expected to increase by three times compared to last year.
The Kaohsiung City Economic Development Bureau pointed out that “EZTalking ” won the Silver Award in the Kaohsiung Startup Competition in 2020, and entered KO-IN in the same year, specializing in AI speech recognition.
EZTalking ’ s CEO, Hsu Yongchang, points out that EZTalking introduces self-developed AI speech pronunciation measurement technology, which can be recognized for every word and even every syllable, providing a more accurate and detailed score compared to traditional voice pattern comparison.
Hsu Yung-chang said that the system can detect the pronunciation of the phonetic transcription, and mark the score level and learning process by color. It is expected that by the end of this year, AI grading function and Chinese learning system will be launched.
Wu Chang-hsing, general manager of EZTalking, says that in the early English tutoring industry, students need to report back the files after recording, and teachers have to spend a lot of time listening to the recordings and evaluating the batch changes, but EZTalking can quickly identify students who need to strengthen their English speaking practice, greatly improving teaching and learning efficiency.
Yichen is a new unicorn in Kaohsiung. “We welcome more outstanding teams to join the new team. The city will certainly be the strongest back-up for the new team. ”

ChatGPT upgrade to see heard will deal with image experts worry: forgery is more serious
Artificial intelligence technology company OpenAI announced on the 25th that its chat application ChatGPT now has the ability to "see, hear and say", at least understand speech, respond to synthetic speech and process images; but experts are worried that the chaos with fake truth and depth may become worse.
NBC News reported that OpenAI launched GPT-4, this is the most significant feature update for the chatbot, users can choose to voice conversations on the ChatGPT mobile app, and choose one of five different synthetic sounds for the robot, and can share images with ChatGPT, and highlight or analyze.
OpenAI said it expects to roll out the update to paid users within two weeks; the voice feature will be limited to Apple ’ s iOS and Google ’ s Android apps, and the image processing feature will be available on all platforms.
ChatGPT features continue to break through and accelerate as the AI race intensifies among chatbot development leaders OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic.
To encourage consumers to use generative AI in their daily lives, tech giants are racing to launch new chatbot applications and introduce new features. This summer, Google announced a series of updates to its chatbot Bard, and Microsoft announced the addition of visual search capabilities to its search engine Bing.
Experts have expressed concern about the synthetic sounds generated by artificial intelligence, worried that they may be fake and deeply fake, and it is reported that cyber threats and researchers have begun to explore how to use deep fake technology to hack into network security systems, and worry about becoming a new tool for fraud.
OpenAI is also aware of potential counterfeiting threats, claiming that the synthesized sounds were created by dubbing actors the company worked with directly, not collected from strangers.
Focusing on how Open AI uses consumer voice input, or how it will protect that data, the Open AI Terms of Service say that consumers will have their own input to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Earlier this year, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, making it the biggest AI investment this year, PitchBook said, and OpenAI reportedly sold $300 million in shares in April, with investors including investment companies such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

Om Kulthum sings "Boss Wawa"
I'm sorry.
Barwin Habib
Imagine that in your mobile phone an application through which you can choose any song you like - or hate - no difference - in the voice of your favorite singer, so you hear, for example, Om Kulthum singing "Bose El Wawa" by Haifa Wahbi, or Sabah Fakhri Salten in the song "Local Sugar" by Hassan Shakoush.
The issue is not a joke nor a rarity as was done by the copycats when singing a song of a known singer with the voice of another singer and his movements in order to laugh, but by the blessing of artificial intelligence this is achieved for those who are proficient in using it, and soon it will be available in our phones for free, so small and large can use it easily as he uses chat applications.
If hologram evokes the singer ’ s body in a three-dimensional image using laser beams as if he were present with us, it is now possible to make him sing what the user wants.
Perhaps what the composer Amr Mustafa did when he published a promotional advertisement for a song entitled “Aftakrlk A ”, from his melodies and the sound of Umm Kulthum, sounded a great alarm about the chaos that will affect our musical heritage. Western artists and musicians have been alerted to this upcoming monster. A large group of them launched the“ Human Art ” campaign so that “Artificial Intelligence ” does not kill human creativity. Artists may have to fight a battle to defend their work against artificial intelligence.
And this reproduction of the voices of singers is not only about the heritage and emotional aspect, and beyond our doubt, can the voice reproduced by artificial intelligence carry the feelings and emotions of the real artist?
The issue has an important legal aspect related to the rights of the voice itself, which opens the door to infringement and graft.
The big problem is that the big boom in cloning artists ’ voices is far faster than the laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions such as the music distributor ’ s profession, what the distributor has been studying for years in the higher music institutes, any free music distribution program can do in just a few minutes.
I would no longer be surprised if I, who spent half my life in the visual media, found my voice on a podcast I had never heard of, say, ice hockey.
I am not against technology or against evolution, but I think that artificial intelligence is a great leap in the march of humanity, I only hope that it will leave us something of its nature, how much I fear that what happened to the artists what happened to Hapanga, who was wearing a necklace in his neck to identify himself, and when he saw it in the neck of his brother asked him surprised: "Brother you are me?"

Content: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.

Content: New ChatGPT competitor lets you talk to “anyone alive or dead ”
Archival Image
The boom in AI applications that have surfaced online over the past few months has sparked a debate that seems not to end soon: after the popularity of apps like ChatGPT, tough questions have been asked about how, when and why we should turn to robots for company or answers.
Chatbots in particular have proven that AI can rise to new levels of both interesting and controversial, and the latest creation of these remarkable robots is the tool (Character.AI) that allows you to chat with a digital copy of almost anyone, whether living or dead, real or imaginary.
Developed by former Google researchers Daniel de Freitas and Noam Shazer, character.AI draws information from articles, news stories, books, and other digital sources to provide reasonable responses from individuals or personalities of the user ’ s choice.
Unlike ChatGPT, Character.AI focuses on entertainment, especially since its website highlights the warning: “Everything the characters say is made up. ”
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the creators of the tool said: “These systems are not designed to be real.
It is designed for reasonable conversations.
“Character.AI is useful today for entertainment, for emotional support, for the formation of ideas, and for all kinds of creativity. ”
Related topics to what you are reading now:
Character.AI differs from OpenAI in that it is not designed to become the search engine of choice for users, but on the contrary, the New York Times warned: “Companies, including Character.AI, are confident that the general public will learn to accept the flaws of chatbots and create a healthy state of distrust in everything they say. ”
It ’ s also worth noting that no matter who chooses to speak to through Character.AI, the responses will be written in regular English.
Jonas Thiel, a social and economic science specialist at a college in Germany, told The New York Times: “If you read what someone like [the philosopher Karl] Kautsky wrote in the 19th century, he doesn ’ t use the same language that we do today.
“But the artificial intelligence you ’ re working on (character.AI) can somehow translate its ideas into ordinary modern English. ”
The technology that character.AI develops is believed to add value to reality, especially as it provides an easy way to access the complex body of theories and philosophies, especially those formulated by scientists centuries ago.
Moreover, Character.AI seems to be a completely new innovation that serves a different purpose than ChatGPT and similar systems being developed by other tech giants, such as Google and Meta.
As for the moral implications of chatting with fictional versions of real-life people, whether living or dead?
It seems that the questions raised by artificial intelligence will not end soon.

Om Kulthum sings "Boss Wawa"
I'm sorry.
Barwin Habib
Imagine that in your mobile phone an application through which you can choose any song you like - or hate - no difference - in the voice of your favorite singer, so you hear, for example, Om Kulthum singing "Bose El Wawa" by Haifa Wahbi, or Sabah Fakhri Salten in the song "Local Sugar" by Hassan Shakoush.
The issue is not a joke nor a rarity as was done by the copycats when singing a song of a known singer with the voice of another singer and his movements in order to laugh, but by the blessing of artificial intelligence this is achieved for those who are proficient in using it, and soon it will be available in our phones for free, so small and large can use it easily as he uses chat applications.
If hologram evokes the singer ’ s body in a three-dimensional image using laser beams as if he were present with us, it is now possible to make him sing what the user wants.
Perhaps what the composer Amr Mustafa did when he published a promotional advertisement for a song entitled “Aftakrlk A ”, from his melodies and the sound of Umm Kulthum, sounded a great alarm about the chaos that will affect our musical heritage. Western artists and musicians have been alerted to this upcoming monster. A large group of them launched the“ Human Art ” campaign so that “Artificial Intelligence ” does not kill human creativity. Artists may have to fight a battle to defend their work against artificial intelligence.
And this reproduction of the voices of singers is not only about the heritage and emotional aspect, and beyond our doubt, can the voice reproduced by artificial intelligence carry the feelings and emotions of the real artist?
The issue has an important legal aspect related to the rights of the voice itself, which opens the door to infringement and graft.
The big problem is that the big boom in cloning artists ’ voices is far faster than the laws that protect and regulate them, and it will eliminate entire professions such as the music distributor ’ s profession, what the distributor has been studying for years in the higher music institutes, any free music distribution program can do in just a few minutes.
I would no longer be surprised if I, who spent half my life in the visual media, found my voice on a podcast I had never heard of, say, ice hockey.
I am not against technology or against evolution, but I think that artificial intelligence is a great leap in the march of humanity, I only hope that it will leave us something of its nature, how much I fear that what happened to the artists what happened to Hapanga, who was wearing a necklace in his neck to identify himself, and when he saw it in the neck of his brother asked him surprised: "Brother you are me?"

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.

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

Content: US teachers dissatisfied with being fired using AI to fake racist recordings of principals in retaliation for arrest
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
A Maryland college teacher used artificial intelligence (AI) to falsify a recording of a principal criticizing Jews and blacks, causing the principal to face accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, raising concerns about AI again.
The fake recording began circulating in January of this year.
Dazhon Darien, a 31-year-old physical education teacher at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in retaliation for a December investigation into possible misuse of school funds by Darien.
After the incident, Eswart was verbally abused and threatened, and Darien was arrested at the end of last month.
After the recording went viral, activist DeRay McKesson, who has nearly a million fans, sent a letter asking the school to fire the principal involved, but the recording was later proved to be a forgery, and McKesson admitted that he had been fooled.
Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing the principals, said: “I am concerned about the harm these actions cause. ” Attorney Schellenberg also said the Parksville incident highlighted the need to“ keep the law up to speed with technology. ”
A professor at the University of Colorado analyzed the sound and found that it contained traces of AI-generated content and human editing.
Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, also discovered that the voice had been tampered with and stitched together by multiple recordings.
"It takes just one photo to put a specific person into a segment, and it takes just 30 seconds for a voice to replicate someone's voice," Farid said.
He also said that the current threat is not only to celebrities, but also to high school principals and children, and anyone can be vulnerable to attack.
“This AI technology affects the economy and the country as a whole. ”

Content: AI phone scam, gangster AI "copied" son's voice to ask for help, Canadian couple lose 120,000 yuan
Author: Zhang Yuejing
Published: Updated:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and now there are free software online for users to upload short recordings, after which AI can “copy ” the extremely real sound line.
US media reported on March 5, a fraudster phoned a Canadian couple, using AI to imitate their son ’ s voice, and swindled $21,000 (about HK $120,000) from them.
The Washington Post said on the 5th that the fraudsters used AI to synthesize their son Benjamin Perkin ’ s “voice ” to call the couple on the phone, saying that“ he ” drove to kill an American diplomat and was in prison, and urgently needed money to pay for his lawyer.
A few hours later, the fraudster said that Perkin's lawyer called, saying that Perkin needed $21,000 before the trial.
Although the two feel that there is something wrong, but because the sound is very similar to the truth, they still withdraw cash and exchange it for Bitcoin, and give it to the scammers.
Later that night, they received a call from Perkin himself, and the two were shocked to be deceived.
They later said that when the gangster called, they felt like they were really talking to their son.
Perkin said the family had made a report to the local police but could not get the money back due to lack of insurance.
It ’ s not clear how the fraudster got Perkin ’ s voice, but he has a YouTube channel where he introduces his favorite snowmobile sports.
