AI Ethics questioning whether human voice cloning such as using your deceased relatives is appropriately being used in AI autonomous systems.
Brevity and hearing the exact same words can allow someone to pretty much nail an impersonation.
For sake of discussion herein, I am concentrating on just the AI-based deepfake audio facets, which as mentioned earlier is commonly referred to as voice cloning or voice replication. Some cheekily refer to this as a voice in a can. It is almost like that game show whereby you have to try and name a song based on the least number of heard notes. The fewer the notes played, the harder it is to guess which song it is. If your guess is wrong, you lose the points or lose the game. A struggle ensues as to whether you should use just one note, the least possible clue, but then your probability of guessing the song is presumably severely reduced.
I believe we would all likely reasonably agree that this specific use of AI-based voice cloning is perfectly fine. In fact, we probably would want this more so than if an actor today tried to pretend that they are speaking like Lincoln. The actor would be presumably making up whatever they thought Lincoln’s actual voice sounded like. It would be a fabrication, perhaps far removed from what Lincoln’s voice was.
Nobody ends up knowing whether the speech was given by Woodrow Wilson or not. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t, and everyone figures it doesn’t really matter either way . Of course, if the speech is a dastardly one, this gives a misimpression or disinformation portrayal of that historical figure. History and fiction are merged into one.
First, have you ever heard of a somewhat popular scam that involves someone impersonating a boss or the equivalent thereof? Some years ago, there was a disturbing fad of calling a restaurant or store and pretending to be the boss of the establishment. The fakery would involve telling a staff member to do ridiculous things, which they often would dutifully do under the false belief that they were talking to their boss.
