Ethics at Resemble AI
At Resemble, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and morality in the development and application of our AI-powered voice generation technology. We recognize the potential for misuse of this powerful tool and have implemented robust safeguards to prevent the creation of deepfakes and protect against voice impersonation.
Ethics rooted in Consent
At the core of our ethical approach is a robust consent system that ensures voice cloning only occurs with the explicit consent of the individual. This built-in consent mechanism is a critical safeguard against unauthorized use and misuse of our technology.
We employ advanced tools like Resemblyzer for speaker identification, which allows us to verify the identity of individuals providing consent for voice cloning. Additionally, our deepfake detector helps us identify and prevent attempts to create fraudulent or misleading voice content.
By prioritizing consent and leveraging cutting-edge technologies for speaker identification and deepfake detection, we are setting a new standard for ethical AI voice generation. Our commitment to consent-based voice cloning ensures that individuals retain control over their voice data and protects against unauthorized use.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to leading the way in ethical AI development and deployment. Our principles guide every aspect of our work, from research and development to partnerships and customer engagements:
- Commitment to Ethics and Morality: Upholding the highest standards in the development and application of AI-powered voice generation technology.
- Preventing Misuse: Implementing robust safeguards to prevent the creation of deepfakes and protect against voice impersonation.
- Security and Integrity: Designing the platform with security at its core, allowing only intended speakers to clone their voices.
- Unique Voice Cloning Process: Requiring users to recite a unique set of sentences for cloning, enabling easy detection of misuse.
- Ownership and Rights: Ensuring users retain full ownership and rights to their voice data, without using it to train other models or selling it to third parties.
- Customized Solutions and Consent: Working closely with companies to secure proper consents from voice actors and ensuring the ethical use of cloned voices.
- Prohibiting Harmful Use: Strictly prohibiting the use of AI voices for hate speech, discrimination, libel, terrorism, violence, exploitation of children, and other harmful activities.
- Restrictions on Unsolicited Communications: Banning the use of the platform for unsolicited phone calls, mass communications, postings, messages, or any form of deception or deliberate misleading.
Prohibited Uses of AI Voices
You cannot use AI Voices built by Resemble for:
- Claiming to be from any person, company, administration, or entity without explicit authorization to make this statement and/or impersonating to gain illegal information or privileges;
- Propagating hate speech;
- Discrimination, libel, terrorism, or violent activities;
- Spreading unattributed content or misrepresenting sources;
- Exploiting or manipulating children;
- Making unsolicited phone calls, vast communications, postings, or messages;
- Deceiving or deliberately misleading people.
Preserving Authenticity: Resemble Watermark
To further our commitment to ethical AI use, we have developed the Resemble Watermark technology. This cutting-edge technology seamlessly integrates the watermark into AI-generated audio, making it unnoticeable to listeners while providing a reliable method to verify the authenticity of AI generated content. It ensures that any piece of content can be verified for its origin, thereby preventing misuse and enabling traceability. The Resemble Watermark is a crucial step towards maintaining transparency and authenticity in the era of generative content, ensuring that our clients can trust the content they consume and create.
Innovation with Integrity: Resemble Detect
In our ongoing effort to combat the misuse of deepfakes, we’ve introduced Resemble Detect, a cutting-edge tool designed to identify AI generated voices. This initiative represents our commitment to ensuring the responsible use of AI voice technologies. Resemble Detect aids in distinguishing between authentic and AI-generated voices in real-time, providing an additional layer of security and trust for creators and consumers alike. It’s a testament to our dedication to upholding ethical standards in the digital realm, reinforcing the authenticity and integrity of digital communications.
Resemble Protect – Resemblyzer
Generative models are advancing at a rapid pace. It is our duty to ensure that we create the right tools to prevent misuse of technology wherever we can. We open-sourced Resemblyzer – a powerful package that uses modern AI and Deep Learning to analyze and compare voices. Resemblyzer will help tackle Fake Speech Detection, Speaker Verification, and Diarization. While it is difficult to prevent all misuses of generative technology, we urge consumers to be evaluative of everything we hear, see, and even read.
Our Responsibility
As we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI voice generation, we remain dedicated to fostering a culture of responsibility, transparency, and trust. Our goal is to harness the power of this technology for good, enabling new forms of creative expression and accessibility while actively working to prevent its misuse.
Collaboration for Ethical AI
We are committed to collaborating with other industry leaders, policymakers, and ethical bodies to shape the future of ethical AI. Together, we can create a framework that ensures AI technologies are developed and used in a manner that benefits all of humanity.
