OpenAI presented a tool that can reproduce a person's voice from a 15-second audio sample. The San Francisco-based company said that the ability to generate human-like voices carries serious risks.

OpenAI assured that it had adopted “a cautious and informed approach” before a wider distribution of the new tool “due to the potential for misuse of synthetic voices” The United States has since banned calls using cloned voices, generated by AI, in order to combat political or commercial scams.
