| New Technology Aims to Protect Voices from Becoming 'Voice Clones' The days of artificial intelligence (AI) 'voice cloning' could soon be a thing of the past. A new technology has been developed that is designed to protect our voices, preventing AI-generated clones from hijacking them. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new way to protect the sound of an individual's voice by adding extra layers of security to a user's digital profile. This new technique works by taking a recording of a person's voice and then adding an extra layer of security that includes data points that are randomly generated. This added layer makes it much harder for AI to clone the sound of the voice. The researchers have also incorporated an additional security measure that requires the use of biometrics such as facial recognition. The combination of these two measures will make it much harder for AI to replicate a person's voice. The team at MIT is also working on developing an app that will allow users to control the access and use of their voices. This app will give users the ability to control who gets access to their voice and how it can be used. The team is also exploring the possibility of creating an open-source version of the technology that would enable anyone to build and deploy their own voice-protecting apps. The researchers believe that this technology could be useful in a variety of industries, such as banking and healthcare, where a person's voice needs to be securely stored. They also believe that it could be used to protect the rights of people who do not want to be subjected to a 'voice clone'. With this new technology, everyone can be sure that their voice is protected from being illegally cloned and manipulated without their permission. |
