AI use in voice generation

Advances in AI technology mean it is now possible to generate ultra-realistic voice-overs and sound bytes. Indeed, new research has found that AI-generated voices are now indistinguishable from real human voices. In this explainer, we unpack what the implications of this could be.AI voice generators typically use “deep learning” algorithms, through which the AI programme studies large data sets of real human voices and “learns” pitch, enunciation, intonation and other elements of a voice. The AI programme is trained using several audio clips of the same person and is “taught” to mimic that specific person’s voice, accent and style of speaking. The generated voice or audio is also called an AI-generated voice clone. Using natural language processing (NLP) programmes, which instruct it to understand, interpret and generate human language, AI can even learn to understand tonal features of a voice, such as sarcasm or curiosity. Is AI dilluting human creativity ?
