Don’t believe what you hear: ASU professor weighs in on voice cloning technology
Perpetrators of identity theft, misinformation dissemination and perhaps even election fraud have a new tool that could enable their deceptive acts: advanced voice cloning technology. Academic, industry and government experts recently took part in a U.S. National Security Council discussion about the potential misuses of voice cloning. Professor Visar Berisha, Fulton Schools associate dean of research and commercialization, took part in the meeting. Berisha leads a team that was a winner of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Voice Cloning Challenge. The team includes Daniel Bliss, a professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, part of the Fulton Schools.
