OpenAI says it can clone a voice from just 15 seconds of audio


OpenAI just announced the results of a small-scale preview of a new voice cloning engine that’s based on the company’s pre-existing text-to-speech API. The technology generates natural-sounding speech that resembles the original speaker.

The company brought up a Brown University pilot program that helped a patient with speech impairment issues by creating a Voice Engine clone pulled from audio recorded for a school project. When the product officially rolls out there will be a “no-go voice list” that detects and prevents AI-generated speakers that are too similar to prominent figures. It just announced another partnership with its bestie Microsoft to build an AI-based supercomputer called “Stargate.” The project will reportedly cost a whopping $100 billion, according to The Information.
