"Scientists from University College London initially expected that voice clones would be poor representations of human voices. However, what they found was the total opposite. 'I found they were up to 20 per cent more intelligible, which was quite shocking,' said lead author Professor Patti Adank."
"Voice clones, on the other hand, have revolutionised how synthetic voices are created, by using AI to digitally recreate someone's speech patterns. These clones can be created with as little as a few seconds of recorded audio, even using clips from social media or snippets of conversation as the raw material."
"According to the National Trading Standards, criminals are already using AI to clone people's voices and set up unauthorised direct debits over the phone."
AI voice clones can replicate a person's voice using only a few seconds of recorded speech. A study from University College London found these synthetic voices to be up to 20 percent more intelligible than the original. This technology raises concerns about potential misuse, as criminals could impersonate individuals to manipulate others. Unlike traditional synthetic voices that require extensive recording, AI clones can be generated from minimal audio, making them more accessible and easier to produce.
