Deepfake Audio


For decades, it has been confusing for people to know if they should trust what they see. From the moment that Photoshop became a verb, it had been well known that pictures could be “doctored” to alter one’s perception of reality. In the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) could be applied to alter videos as well.

Recently deepfake audio was in the news because of a fake robocall in which Joe Biden’s voice was digitally impersonated in an attempt to suppress New Hampshire democrats from voting. Do you think you can tell the difference between an authentic audio clip and one that has been digitally created through AI? Fortunately there is ongoing research that uses AI to help detect AI-powered voice cloning.
