Along with recent promising advances in artificial intelligence, or AI, technology come warnings about how it could also be used as an instrument of deception. AI’s capability to imitate peoples’ voices is among the latest of those concerns. In response, a group ASU researchers, including, Visar Berisha, a professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, part of the Fulton Schools, have developed a prototype of a microphone capable of authenticating voices as human speech, which could expose AI imitations. Berisha talks about the various positive uses of the voice verification technology.
