| 'The Witcher' Star Worries AI Voice Clones Could Spell Danger Henry Cavill, star of the popular series 'The Witcher', has recently raised concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) voice actors, becoming the latest in a growing list of celebrities to voice their hesitations about the potential implications of AI technology. In a recent interview, Cavill spoke of his concerns about AI being used in voice acting, with the potential for horrific consequences in the wrong hands. He went on to say, “This is a power that could be misused in a way that could have grave implications.” Cavill’s worries come in light of the enormous possibilities AI technology has opened up for the entertainment industry. In the last few years, AI voice cloning technology has been used to create realistic sounding virtual actors, with the capacity to be used in films, television shows, and video games. However, many people including Cavill have argued that this could be a slippery slope, leading to massive implications for both the entertainment industry and civil liberties. They argue that AI voice clones could be used to create fraudulent recordings that sound exactly like the real thing, leading to potential cases of intellectual property theft, fraud, and even espionage. Though it is clear that the potential uses of AI voice cloning technology could be vast, it is equally clear that we must remain vigilant in emphasizing the importance of ethical and responsible usage of this technology, and acknowledge the importance of the potential dangers it can pose. |
