OpenAI knows you're worried about its new AI model that can copy your voice

OpenAI is cautious about the potential risks of its new synthetic voice tool, Voice Engine, which can replicate human voices using AI. The company recognizes the concerns, especially during an election year, and is seeking feedback from various stakeholders to ensure responsible deployment of the technology. OpenAI is currently using the tool for ChatGPT's "read aloud" features and text-to-speech API. While the tool has been tested with trusted partners, OpenAI is yet to decide on a broader release due to the potential for misuse. The company suggests measures like consent and transparency to prevent abuse of synthetic voices.
