Real-life Black Mirror: OpenAI presents a new voice imitation AI bot capable of reproducing any sound after hearing a 15-second clip
OpenAI has introduced a new AI model named Voice Engine. This new model has the ability to mimic any voice using a 15-second sample, promising to produce "natural-sounding speech" with expressive and lifelike voices.
OpenAI, a prestigious AI research institute, has recently revealed Voice Engine, an innovative voice imitation technology that can mimic any speaker by analyzing just a 15-second audio clip.
The creator of ChatGPT has been working on a new model since 2022, which guarantees voices that sound natural and are capable of expressing emotions realistically. This model is an enhancement of OpenAI's current text-to-speech API. The firm has already incorporated a version of this toolkit into their existing text-to-speech API and Read Aloud function. They have demonstrated examples on their official blog, which bear a close resemblance to genuine voices.
OpenAI sees a multitude of positive uses for Voice Engine, including help with reading, translating languages, and supporting those with speech difficulties. However, they are also mindful of the possible abuse of this technology.
The threat of deepfake interference is increasingly alarming, leading to worries about privacy and moral consequences. As a result, OpenAI maintains that the Voice Engine is not prepared for broad deployment, emphasizing the need to tackle significant privacy issues before advancing with a comprehensive launch.
Recognizing the substantial hazards tied to this technology, especially in a voting year, OpenAI emphasizes its dedication to seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders including government, media, entertainment, education, and civil society. Every tester in the preview phase has agreed to comply with OpenAI’s usage rules, which forbid the imitation of individuals without their clear permission or lawful authorization.
Furthermore, those who use the Voice Engine are required to inform their listeners that the voices they hear are created by artificial intelligence. OpenAI has incorporated extra security features, such as adding watermarks to identify where the audio originated and actively overseeing how the system is used. When the official version is launched, there will be a "prohibited voice list" set up to identify and stop the use of AI-generated voices that imitate well-known personalities.
The introduction of OpenAI's Sora and the subsequent Voice Engine coincides with a highly competitive US election. As such, worries about potential misuse of these fresh AI technologies are widespread among political commentators and tech experts.
Regarding cost and accessibility, OpenAI has been quite secretive. However, possible pricing information implies that Voice Engine could be cheaper than its market rivals. The cost is speculated to be around $15 for every million characters, approximately equal to 162,500 words, which makes Voice Engine a reasonably priced option for producing audiobooks.
Furthermore, OpenAI suggests a high-definition version that could cost twice as much, though the exact details about its features are still not revealed.
Alongside this statement, OpenAI has formed a crucial collaboration with Microsoft to create an AI-powered supercomputer named "Stargate," with estimated expenses hitting $100 billion, according to The Information. These latest ventures highlight OpenAI's ongoing dedication to spearheading progress in artificial intelligence and fostering cooperative innovation with top industry figures.
