The Wall Street Journal | IOActive Senior Security Consultant David Falkenstein and The Wall Street Journal recently collaborated to create a quiz that looks to test if “your ears [can] distinguish a human voice from an AI deepfake…”
David was able to use AI to clone The Wall Street Journal colleagues sourced from publicly available social media clips and used OpenAudio to help run the experiment.
“Can your ears distinguish a human voice from an AI deepfake? Knowing the difference could save you from a phone scam that costs you thousands of dollars. …
… To test this, we enlisted David Falkenstein of corporate security firm IOActive to clone a few Wall Street Journal colleagues. He pulled down bits of our publicly available social-media and podcast audio, clips just 10 to 30 seconds in length. He used OpenAudio—easily accessible software that can run on a laptop—to make our voices say some pretty crazy things.”
