“A reasonably good clone can be created with under a minute of audio and some are claiming that even a few seconds may be enough.” Mom wary about answering calls for fear voice will be cloned for future virtual kidnapping.
I’m pro-AI but any technology that can lead to the creation of deepfakes must be explicitly banned.
Naturally, we’re already talking about criminals but you combat this issue the same way you combat school shootings. Banning the root of the issue and actively persecuting anyone who dares acquire it illegally.
EDIT: The victims wouldn’t have fallen to this deepfake scam if they had their own deepfake scam. Scam the criminal before he scams you!!!
Would it even be possible to ban? Every military in the world wants this technology.
Well, the military has tanks too, should we go around selling tanks to the general population?
You can’t download a tank.
One leak would make this deepfake software publicly available to all bad actors anyways regardless of any ban.
Also a global ban seems unlikely. You can protect Americans from bullets coming from enemy territory. You can’t protect them from viral deepfaked posts.
