A PCB business card is a great way for electrical engineers to impress employers with their design skills, but the software they run can be just as impressive as the …read more Continue reading (Neural) Networking with a Business Card
A photo of someone’s face may be all an attacker needs to create a convincing synthetic voice. A new study from Australia’s national science agency explores this possibility, testing how well deepfake detectors perform against FOICE (Face-to-Voic… Continue reading Your photo could be all AI needs to clone your voice
Voice cloning has become fast, cheap, and convincing. With only a few minutes of recorded speech, generative models can recreate a person’s voice with matching tone, rhythm, and accent. To address that risk, a research team at Texas Tech University tes… Continue reading Smart helmet tech points to the future of fighting audio deepfakes
If you’ve been online since the mid-90s, you’ll remember the chaos of pre-Google search, which is probably best exemplified by Dogpile, a search engine that literally searched all the other search engines for you, to give you some hope of finding what … Continue reading Google starts doing the Googling for you: Search will never be the same
Audio deepfakes are becoming a big problem. Recent cybercriminal campaigns use voice cloning technology to replicate the speech tone and patterns of celebrities such as Elon Musk, Mr. Beast Tiger Woods, and others and use them for endorsing fake contes… Continue reading Audio deepfakes: What they are, and the risks they present
New research demonstrates voice cloning, in multiple languages, using samples ranging from one to twelve seconds.
Research paper.

Even when using a hearing aid, it can be quite difficult for deaf people to make out specific individuals’ voices in noisy environments. The new SpeakerBeam system could help, by automatically recognizing and boosting a select person’s voice.Continue R… Continue reading SpeakerBeam hearing aid tech only amplifies specific people’s voices
Computer scientists at the University of Waterloo have discovered a method of attack that can successfully bypass voice authentication security systems with up to a 99% success rate after only six tries. Experts expose flaws in voiceprint technology Vo… Continue reading Cybercriminals can break voice authentication with 99% success rate
