AI-Generated Voice Evidence Poses Dangers in Court
In the age of AI, listener authentication of voice evidence should be permissive, not mandatory.
For example, the length and quality (in terms of audio compression rates or background noise) can impact people’s ability to discern the identity and naturalness of a voice. This would shift admissibility for all the enumerated examples, including the option to authenticate the identity of a person’s voice by calling a witness to the stand who says they recognize the speaker, to a permissive rule rather than a mandatory one. Judges would still apply the low sufficiency standard, so they would not be substituting their judgment for that of the jury, raising the burden on parties seeking to introduce evidence, or opening the floodgates to a morass of evidentiary disputes.
