How does AI voice cloning happen?
Current speech synthesis needs only a few seconds of audio to produce a convincing copy. Call recordings, video audio and broadcast appearances are the raw material. That is why voice deepfakes are rising: calls impersonating family, ad voiceovers you never recorded, videos mimicking a celebrity.
Unlike a face, a voice cannot be compared with a single photo, and most people learn of the misuse after the damage. Keeping a record in advance matters.
