OpenAI recently launched its voice cloning tool, Voice Engine, capable of mimicking a voice with just a 15-second audio sample.
This cutting-edge artificial intelligence quickly became a sensation for its ability to replicate any voice based on a short sample. According to OpenAI, with just 15 seconds of speech, the technology can analyze and clone the audio, demonstrating a significant advancement in voice synthesis capabilities.
OpenAI’s voice cloning tool, Voice Engine
OpenAI, the creator behind ChatGPT, has unveiled the Voice Engine, a groundbreaking development based on their text-to-speech API. The samples released by the company have been notably impressive, demonstrating the tool’s ability to produce remarkably similar voice replicas. This innovation holds promise for assisting individuals with speech disorders, highlighting the potential benefits of artificial intelligence in this area.
However, concerns have been raised about the potential risks to user security. The ability to replicate voices could enable scammers to impersonate individuals, potentially leading to financial and personal information theft. In response, OpenAI plans to implement a phased rollout of the Voice Engine, incorporating feedback from partners across various industries to ensure the system is secure and operates transparently.
To counteract the risks of impersonation, OpenAI has announced measures that include restrictions against imitating others without clear disclosure. Users will be mandated to inform listeners that the sounds are synthetically generated. Techniques such as audio watermarking will also be employed to trace the origins of the sounds, enhancing security measures.
Initially, the technology will restrict the imitation of voices of well-known figures. Furthermore, in a significant move to push the boundaries of AI research, OpenAI, in collaboration with Microsoft, is investing $100 billion in a supercomputer named Stargate, dedicated to advancements like the Voice Engine.
The pricing for the Voice Engine has been set at $15 per million characters, making this technology accessible for various applications.
