OpenAI, the makers of ChatGPT, has announced its entry into the voice assistant industry with its new Voice Engine technology. This technology is capable of cloning a person’s voice with just 15 seconds of recording. While the company has filed a trademark application for the name, it has expressed concerns about releasing the technology due to potential safety risks associated with its misuse.
Despite the availability of voice-cloning technology from other startup companies, OpenAI is taking a cautious approach by ensuring that early testers agree not to impersonate individuals without their consent and to disclose that the voices are AI-generated. The company has previously taken a similar approach with its other technologies, such as the video-generator Sora, which was announced but not widely released.
OpenAI’s filing of a trademark application for Voice Engine suggests that the company aims to expand into the speech recognition and digital voice assistant market. By developing and improving such technology, OpenAI could potentially compete with established voice products like Amazon’s Alexa in the future. This move marks a significant step for the company as it continues to innovate in the field of artificial intelligence.
