AI GLOSSARY
Voice Cloning
Speech & Audio
The use of AI to create a synthetic replica of a specific person's voice from a sample of their speech, enabling the generation of new audio that sounds like that person saying anything. Voice cloning has legitimate applications in accessibility, entertainment, and personalization, but is also a significant security and ethical concern, enabling fraud, non-consensual impersonation, and the creation of convincing audio deepfakes.
