AI Voice Cloning: Technology, Ethics, and Safety

Understand how AI voice cloning works, its legitimate uses, and how to protect yourself from misuse.

At a Glance

How voice cloning works

~15s

AI analyzes a sample of someone's voice (as little as 15 seconds) and creates a model that can say anything in that voice.

Legitimate uses

~15s

Audiobook narration, accessibility (giving voice to those who've lost theirs), content creation in multiple languages, and preserving loved ones' voices.

Tools available

~15s

ElevenLabs, Resemble.ai, and Descript's Overdub offer voice cloning. Most require consent verification for the voice being cloned.

Ethical concerns

~15s

Voice cloning can be used for scams, misinformation, and impersonation. Never clone someone's voice without explicit consent.

Protect yourself

~15s

Be cautious of sharing voice clips online. Set up a family verification code. If you get a suspicious call, hang up and call the person directly.
