"Tech giant Amazon has revealed an insanely creepy
experimental feature for its AI assistant Alexa that allows it to mimic
the voices of its users’ dead relatives.
The Verge reports that
Amazon has revealed an experimental feature for its Alexa smart speaker
AI assistant that allows the device to mimic the voices of users’ dead
relatives. The company displayed this new feature at its annual MARS
conference, demoing it by showing a video of a child asking Alexa to
read its bedtime story in the voice of a dead grandmother. Rohit Prasad, Amazon’s head scientist for Alexa AI, commented: “As you
saw in this experience, instead of Alexa’s voice reading the book, it’s
the kid’s grandma’s voice.”
With Amazon’s devices constantly listening in on users
and the convenience of recording a voice note, it could mean that the
average consumer could easily clone the voice of a family member.
Breitbart News has previously reported
on the growing popularity of “audio deepfakes” mimicking users voices —
usually with their consent and not after they’ve died. Most recently,
one of these audio deepfakes was used to recreate the voice of Val
Kilmer for the new film Top Gun: Maverick after the actor lost his voice due to complications with throat cancer." Breitbart
