OpenAI presents a new tool that worries election administrators. The tool, called “Voice Engine,” is capable of reproducing a person’s voice from a 15-second audio sample.
OpenAI confirmed that it had adopted a “cautious approach” before deploying the new tool more widely “due to the potential for misuse of artificially generated sounds” The presentation of the tool comes after a Democratic competitor to Joe Biden created an automated program that impersonated the US President.
