Reality mirrors Black Mirror: OpenAI reveals new AI bot capable of mimicking any voice from 15 seconds of audio
OpenAI has introduced a new AI model named Voice Engine. This new model can replicate any voice based on a 15-second sample, offering "natural-sounding speech" with expressive and lifelike voices.
OpenAI, a famous organization known for its work in artificial intelligence, has recently revealed Voice Engine. This innovative voice imitation technology can mimic any speaker by analyzing just a 15-second audio clip.
The creator of ChatGPT is offering a "natural-sounding speech" feature with expressive and lifelike voices. This new model is an enhancement of OpenAI's current text-to-speech API and has been under construction since 2022. The firm has already incorporated a variant of this toolkit to fuel the preconfigured voices in their existing text-to-speech API and Read Aloud function, displaying examples on their official blog that bear a striking resemblance to real 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 aware of the possible abuse of this technology.
The threat of deepfake alteration is a growing worry, raising questions about privacy and moral consequences. As a result, OpenAI claims that Voice Engine is not prepared for broad usage, emphasizing the need to tackle significant privacy issues before moving forward with a comprehensive launch.
OpenAI recognizes the considerable dangers tied to this technology, especially in a year of elections and emphasizes its dedication to seeking advice from a broad range of interested parties such as government, media, entertainment, education, and civic organizations. All initial testers have agreed to abide by OpenAI's usage rules, which forbid pretending to be someone else without their clear consent or lawful permission.
Furthermore, those who use the 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 safeguards, such as watermarking to track the source of the audio and active supervision of how the system is used. When the Voice Engine is officially launched, a list of prohibited voices will be established to identify and stop the usage of AI-created voices that sound like well-known individuals.
The unveiling of OpenAI's Sora and the recent Voice Engine coincides with one of the most fiercely debated elections in the US. As a result, there is a heightened worry among political experts and tech commentators about the potential abuse of these advanced AI instruments.
Regarding cost and availability, OpenAI has been rather secretive. However, projected pricing information hints that Voice Engine might be more affordable than its market rivals. Estimates suggest a price tag of $15 for every million characters, which is approximately 162,500 words, making Voice Engine a budget-friendly option for producing audiobooks.
Moreover, OpenAI suggests a high-definition version that costs twice as much, although details about its features are still not revealed.
Alongside this news, OpenAI has formed a crucial alliance with Microsoft to create a supercomputer powered by AI, named "Stargate". The estimated cost for this project is around $100 billion, according to The Information. These current efforts highlight OpenAI's ongoing dedication to spearheading progress in artificial intelligence and fostering collaborative breakthroughs with top industry players.
