[R] Proactive Detection of Voice Cloning with Localized Watermarking

The rapid advancements in AI voice synthesis have given rise to incredibly convincing fake human speech, raising concerns about voice cloning and deepfake audio.

Passive analysis, the traditional approach to detecting fake audio, faces challenges as AI synthesis improves. These approaches tend to rely on artifacts, but these are model-specific. And models are improving in quality, reducing the number of artifacts.

Researchers at Meta and Inria have developed AudioSeal, a novel technique which can imperceptibly watermark AI-generated speech for detection. …
