This article on ZDNet reports that Microsoft has announced that it has created an artificial intelligence system that only needs a 3 second recording "of you saying something in order to fake longer sentences and perhaps large speeches that weren't made by you, but sound pretty much like you". I expect that other technology companies will quickly match Microsoft's achievement. I don't see this as a good development; we can look forward to a whole world of trouble once this technology becomes widely available. We already have deep-fake videos, and now we will have deep-fake audio. | |
