Real-life Black Mirror: OpenAI introduces an AI bot that can mimic any voice after hearing a 15-second clip
OpenAI has introduced a new artificial intelligence model, named Voice Engine. This model is able to replicate any voice after listening to a 15-second clip and guarantees to produce "natural-sounding speech" with expressive and life-like voices.
OpenAI, a well-known AI research institution, has recently revealed Voice Engine, a revolutionary voice imitation technology. This advanced system can mimic any speaker by analyzing a short 15-second audio clip.
The company that created ChatGPT has unveiled a new model that promises to deliver speech that sounds natural, along with realistic and emotive voices. This new model is an enhancement of OpenAI's existing text-to-speech API and has been under development since 2022. The firm has already incorporated a version of this toolkit to drive predefined voices in their current text-to-speech API and Read Aloud function, demonstrating examples on their official blog that closely mirror real voices.
OpenAI imagines a multitude of useful uses for Voice Engine, such as helping with reading, translating languages, and aiding people who have trouble speaking. However, they are also aware of the possible abuse of this technology.
The threat of deepfake manipulation is indeed quite significant, raising worries about privacy and ethical issues. Therefore, OpenAI insists that Voice Engine is not prepared for broad application, emphasizing the necessity to tackle serious privacy issues prior to initiating a comprehensive launch.
Recognizing the considerable dangers linked with this technology, especially in a year of elections, OpenAI emphasizes its dedication to seeking input from diverse contributors across government, media, entertainment, education, and civil society. All those who have agreed to test the preview have also committed to abide by OpenAI's usage guidelines, which forbid the imitation of individuals without their clear permission or legal approval.
Additionally, 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 added further protection methods, such as watermarking for identifying the source of the audio and active supervision of system use. When it's officially launched, there will be a list of prohibited voices to identify and stop the usage of AI-generated voices that sound similar to well-known individuals.
The introduction of OpenAI's Sora and Voice Engine coincides with a highly disputed election in the US. Understandably, there's a lot of worry among political experts and tech commentators about the potential abuse of these fresh AI tools.
When it comes to cost and accessibility, OpenAI has stayed quiet. However, possible pricing information implies that Voice Engine could be cheaper than other options in the market. Predictions suggest a price of $15 for every million characters, which is about 162,500 words, making Voice Engine an economical choice for creating audiobooks.
Furthermore, OpenAI subtly suggests a high-definition version that would be twice as expensive, though precise details about its features are still not revealed.
Alongside this declaration, OpenAI has established a substantial collaboration with Microsoft to create an AI-powered supercomputer named "Stargate," with estimated expenses amounting to $100 billion, according to The Information. These latest ventures highlight OpenAI's ongoing dedication to leading progress in artificial intelligence and cooperative innovation with top industry figures.
