Human or AI? I cloned my voice and asked friends if they could tell the difference
Assoc Prof Terence Sim from NUS’s School of Computing highlights the challenges posed by AI-generated voice fraud. He notes that the Singaporean accent can be harder to clone, as most AI models are trained on American or British accents. While skills such as spotting hissing, mismatched background sounds, or abrupt transitions in speech can help detect deepfake voices, he cautions that these methods are not foolproof as voice cloning technology continues to advance.
