AI Voice Cloning and How Are We Protected

Welcome to YorVoice, a research team dedicated to exploring the critical issue of trust in the digital age. Our focus is on the profound impact of AI-generated content, particularly voice cloning, on the fundamental trust that underpins all relationships—whether social, societal, commercial, personal, or political.

Our Mission

We believe that trust is the cornerstone of all connections. In an era where technology can replicate voices with startling accuracy, the potential for misuse is vast. From political interference and financial fraud to revenge abuse and misinformation, the implications of AI voice cloning are both broad and profound. Our mission is to address these challenges head-on by fostering a deeper understanding of the societal, ethical, and legal ramifications of AI voice technology.

Our Work

We delve into the fascinating yet concerning world of AI-generated content. Whether it’s the amusing spectacle of AI-generated songs or the more sinister applications like scam calls and misinformation, we explore the full spectrum of possibilities and risks. Our work examines both the positive uses of AI voice technology, such as providing a voice for those with neurodegenerative diseases, and the significant threats it poses.

The Need For New Rights

As we navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, we recognize a critical gap in existing legal protections for voice ownership. Traditional concepts like copyright, passing off, defamation, and privacy offer limited safeguards. We argue for the establishment of new legal rights specifically tailored to address the unique challenges posed by AI voice cloning.

Interdisciplinary Approach

To tackle these complex issues, our team comprises experts from diverse fields including law, sociology, and linguistics. Led by principal investigators from various disciplines, our interdisciplinary approach ensures a comprehensive examination of the topic. We engage with specialists worldwide to develop a robust framework for protecting voice personality rights.

Our Process

The YorVoice project exemplifies our dynamic and collaborative methodology. In a concise, intensive process, we bring together interdisciplinary groups to generate innovative solutions quickly and efficiently. Our process benefits from spontaneous collaborations and the invaluable support of the YorVoice team, facilitating rapid progress and effective problem-solving.
