- YouTube is building new technology that will soon be able to spot synthetic singing.
- The company is working with partners to fine-tune this tool and is planning for a pilot program to be available early next year.
- YouTube also announced that it’s developing tech that will help creators spot AI-generated content that features their faces.
Ever wondered if the track you’re listening to on YouTube is actually real? Just a few years back, it seemed impossible that an AI-generated song could sound so convincingly human, but that’s exactly where we find ourselves now. While it’s getting pretty hard to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s AI, YouTube has a few ideas on how to tackle the problem.
YouTube is building new technology within Content ID (its system for identifying copyrighted material) that claims to be able to spot synthetic singing. If you’re a creator and someone tries to clone your voice with AI and use it in a song, YouTube’s system is designed to catch it.
