The blog post explores the concept of a "voice consent gate" as a method to ensure ethical voice cloning by requiring explicit consent from the speaker before their voice can be cloned. It addresses the dual nature of voice generation technology, highlighting both its potential benefits, such as aiding individuals who have lost their ability to speak, and its risks, like the creation of misleading deepfakes. The proposed voice consent gate integrates consent directly into AI workflows, ensuring that a voice can only be cloned after the speaker's consent phrase is spoken and recognized, thus embedding consent into system infrastructure. The post details a basic demo that incorporates automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech systems to ensure that consent is clear, context-specific, and traceable, with a focus on creating diverse and phonetically rich consent recordings. The authors encourage further exploration and improvement of this technology to maintain ethical standards and foster collaboration between humans and machines.
