OpenAI holds back wide release of voice-cloning tech due to misuse concerns | Voice Engine can clone voices with 15 seconds of audio, but OpenAI is warning of potential misuse


Voice Engine can clone voices with 15 seconds of audio, but OpenAI is warning of potential harms.

The company initially planned to launch a pilot program for developers to sign up for the Voice Engine API earlier this month. "In line with our approach to AI safety and our voluntary commitments, we are choosing to preview but not widely release this technology at this time," the company writes. "We hope this preview of Voice Engine both underscores its potential and also motivates the need to bolster societal resilience against the challenges brought by ever more convincing generative models."
