"OpenAI's New Voice Cloning Tool: Mimicking Human Voices with Just a 15-Second Sample"
OpenAI has developed Voice Engine, a text-to-voice generation platform that can create a synthetic voice based on a 15-second clip of someone's voice. The AI-generated voice can read out text prompts in multiple languages and has been deployed by companies like Age of Learning and Dimagi. OpenAI is limiting access to about 10 developers and has implemented usage policies to prevent unethical uses, including impersonation without consent. The company also added watermarking to trace the origin of audio clips and suggested steps to limit risks associated with AI voice technology.
