Clinician Says Her Voice Was Cloned by AI for Social Media Ad
By Jennifer Henderson
Los Angeles podiatrist and social media personality Dana Brems, DPM, has charged in an Instagram post that a company used AI to make a fake recording of her voice for an ad.
The post shows Brems reacting, mouth covered in dismay, to what she said was an advertisement that “used an AI clone of my voice to pretend I recommended their product...”
Hany Farid, Ph.D., of the School of Information at the University of California Berkeley, told MedPage Today in an email that he had analyzed the audio Brems called out, using a model he and colleagues trained to distinguish real voices from AI-generated ones. “This model classifies the audio as AI-generated,” Farid said...
Hany Farid is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences and the School of Information at UC Berkeley.
