You can now clone the voice of any person, dead or alive

Researchers at Google and UC Berkeley developed, in late 2017, a new artificial intelligence technology able to generate realistic voices 100% synthesized by a computer.

This technology is now in the wild and is being used to clone celebrities’ voices. After training the AI model in hundreds of hours of speeches by Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump, or Boris Johnson, for instance, anyone can just write a text and let the system read it. The results are already impressive and will get much better over time.
