In the case of Sir Keir Starmer&#8217;s recordings, X (formerly Twitter) did not include any warning that the recording might be manipulated. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leo_hutz\/status\/1710932453362143584?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It is still available on the website<\/a>\u00a0and generates disinformation.

At this point, the entire problem is placed on the shoulders of fact-checking organisations and the media.

Facebook&#8217;s role was marginal because the recording was only specifically marked and not deleted. It can still be viewed and listened to, and with a little effort, downloaded and distributed.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok is also to work on tools that automatically classify AI-generated content. At the moment the process is only done <a href=\"https:\/\/support.tiktok.com\/en\/using-tiktok\/creating-videos\/ai-generated-content\">manually<\/a>. The giant removes AI-based manipulations in the case of very popular videos when a public figure makes a claim. This was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/entertainment\/tom-hanks-insists-aicreated-dental-ad-had-nothing-to-do-with-him\/video\/0c0a55135842bd3cf8e07d8cdd0cbe57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the case of Tom Hanks<\/a>, whose voice and face were used to advertise dental products without his knowledge or consent, or the deepfake of Mr. Beast, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/tech\/mrbeast-ai-tiktok-ad-deepfake-rcna118596\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advertised<\/a>\u00a0an iPhone scam.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Detecting deepfake audio<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is currently a lack of effective tools to detect AI-generated voices, which makes voice cloning difficult to detect. For example, ElevenLabs <a href=\"https:\/\/elevenlabs.io\/ai-speech-classifier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has provided a classifier<\/a> that is supposed to detect whether a given recording is generated by ElevenLabs or manipulated. However, adding some noise in the background (e.g. birds singing or car sounds) is enough to make the tool completely unreliable. Here is an example:<\/p>\n<p>Using ElevenLabs, we generated a simple recording based on one of many available voice synthesisers. Recording below:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-783-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/fakenews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/elevenlabs_czyste.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/fakenews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/elevenlabs_czyste.mp4\">https:\/\/fakenews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/elevenlabs_czyste.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Results:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19383\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19383\" style=\"width: 1381px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19383 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fakenews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/el_likely.png.webp\" alt=\"Voice cloning - results\" width=\"1381\" height=\"695\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19383\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Voice cloning &#8211; results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This means that the classifier correctly recognised that the audio was generated by AI.

This little experiment shows how difficult it is to detect this type of manipulation. It is obvious that potential disinformation actors will distort recordings to make them difficult to verify, which will make currently available classifiers useless.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Summary<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Voice cloning technology is developing at a rapid pace and creating new challenges for democracy and the reliability of media messages. At this point, only a joint effort of the media, fact-checking organisations and social media platforms can form a minimal barrier to slow down the spread of disinformation in this form. Let&#8217;s hope that in the near future, technological solutions that are not currently available to the public will also help with combating this significant issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2023\/10\/13\/ai-voice-cloning-deepfakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2023\/10\/13\/ai-voice-cloning-deepfakes\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wired: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/slovakia-election-deepfakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/slovakia-election-deepfakes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AFP: <a href=\"https:\/\/fakty.afp.com\/doc.afp.com.33WY9LF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/fakty.afp.com\/doc.afp.com.33WY9LF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-09-29\/trolls-in-slovakian-election-tap-ai-deepfakes-to-spread-disinfo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-09-29\/trolls-in-slovakian-election-tap-ai-deepfakes-to-spread-disinfo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Money: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.money.pl\/gospodarka\/po-w-spocie-wygenerowala-glos-premiera-przez-ai-strzal-w-stope-6934140360145856a.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.money.pl\/gospodarka\/po-w-spocie-wygenerowala-glos-premiera-przez-ai-strzal-w-stope-6934140360145856a.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News.com.au: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/entertainment\/tom-hanks-insists-aicreated-dental-ad-had-nothing-to-do-with-him\/video\/0c0a55135842bd3cf8e07d8cdd0cbe57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/entertainment\/tom-hanks-insists-aicreated-dental-ad-had-nothing-to-do-with-him\/video\/0c0a55135842bd3cf8e07d8cdd0cbe57<\/a><\/p>\n<p>DIG.watch: <a href=\"https:\/\/dig.watch\/updates\/meta-platforms-develops-labels-for-ai-generated-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/dig.watch\/updates\/meta-platforms-develops-labels-for-ai-generated-content\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wirtualnemedia.pl: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wirtualnemedia.pl\/artykul\/pandora-gate-sylwester-wardega-stuu-boxdel-dubiel-fagata-pedofilia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.wirtualnemedia.pl\/artykul\/pandora-gate-sylwester-wardega-stuu-boxdel-dubiel-fagata-pedofilia\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Factcheckhub: <a href=\"https:\/\/factcheckhub.com\/ai-voice-technology-used-to-create-misleading-videos-on-tiktok-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/factcheckhub.com\/ai-voice-technology-used-to-create-misleading-videos-on-tiktok-report\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>NBC News: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/tech\/internet\/evidence-free-conspiracy-theories-obamas-chef-get-boost-x-formerly-kno-rcna96255\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/tech\/internet\/evidence-free-conspiracy-theories-obamas-chef-get-boost-x-formerly-kno-rcna96255<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Along with the technological development, there are more and more tools that can threaten democracy.
