Reality reflects Black Mirror: OpenAI presents new AI bot capable of mimicking any voice after hearing a 15-second clip
OpenAI has revealed a new AI model named Voice Engine. This advanced AI model can imitate any voice after listening to a 15-second clip, offering to produce "natural-sounding speech" that has emotion and realism.
OpenAI, a well-known research institution focusing on artificial intelligence, recently revealed Voice Engine. This innovative voice duplication technology can mimic any speaker by analyzing just a 15-second audio clip.
The creator of ChatGPT is offering "natural-like speech" featuring expressive and lifelike voices in its new model. This model is based on the existing text-to-speech API of OpenAI and has been under progress since 2022. A version of this toolset has already been incorporated to support preset voices in their current text-to-speech API and the Read Aloud function. Examples that are similar to real voices are displayed on their official blog.
OpenAI anticipates a variety of positive uses for Voice Engine, including help with reading, translating languages, and supporting those with speech difficulties. However, they are also aware of the possible misappropriation of the technology.
The threat of manipulation through deepfake technology is considerable, leading to worries about privacy and moral impacts. As a result, OpenAI declares that the Voice Engine is not prepared for extensive application yet, emphasizing the necessity to tackle significant privacy issues before moving forward with a complete launch.
Recognizing the substantial hazards tied to this technology, especially in a voting year, OpenAI emphasizes its dedication to gathering input from a variety of involved parties across sectors such as government, media, entertainment, education, and civic communities. All early reviewers have agreed to comply with OpenAI's usage rules, which forbid pretending to be someone else without their clear agreement or legal permission.
Furthermore, those who use Voice Engine are required to inform their listeners that the voices they are hearing are created by artificial intelligence. OpenAI has put in place extra security features, such as watermarking to identify the source of the audio, and active tracking of how the system is used. Once it's officially launched, there will be a "do not use voice list" to identify and stop the use of AI-produced voices that sound similar to well-known individuals.
OpenAI's release of Sora and now Voice Engine, coincidentally aligns with one of the most fiercely debated elections in the US. Understandably, this has led to a heightened worry about potential misuse of these fresh AI technologies among political commentators and tech experts.
Regarding cost and accessibility, OpenAI has been reticent. However, possible pricing information implies that Voice Engine could be more affordable than its market rivals. The projected cost is about $15 for every million characters, approximately equal to 162,500 words. This makes Voice Engine a financially viable option for producing audiobooks.
Moreover, OpenAI alludes to an "HD" version that would be twice as expensive, although details about its features are still not revealed.
Alongside this declaration, OpenAI has entered into another major collaboration with Microsoft to build an AI-powered supercomputer named "Stargate." The projected expenses for this project could hit $100 billion, according to The Information. OpenAI's recent ventures emphasize their ongoing dedication to leading the way in artificial intelligence advancements and fostering collaborative innovation with top industry figures.
