Deepfake technology refers to the creation of realistic media content that involves the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, where voice cloning is concerned. These algorithms process the recordings or transcripts of a person’s voice, and are capable of synthesizing speech that is indistinguishable from the original speaker in terms of speaking style, prosody, and even voice identity. There are many uses for voice cloning including helping people who have speech impediments to creating robotic helpers and even modifying the sound of someone’s voice for a movie or advertisement. But it has also given rise to some disturbing ethical issues related to the violation of privacy and the unauthorized use of someone’s voice for commercial benefit.
