Microsoft’s new AI solution is so good that the company is afraid to release it –

Already years ago, it was apparent that content created with the help of artificial intelligence could be dangerous – when the first deepfake videos appeared, we knew that this could cause serious problems one day. Abuses, AI-generated adult content that puts known people in unpleasant situations are already uncomfortably common, not to mention fake news and scams.

Seeing this, it would be a really brave thing to release Vall-E, Microsoft’s speech generator, which could be a perfect tool for, for example, criminals, “naughty” fraudsters and criminals who drive people to believe.

The company announced that the latest version of Vall-E, the Vall-E 2, is so natural and can mimic the voice of a real speaker so well that it has become too dangerous. Although they are proud of this result, that is why they do not dare to release it, lest it be misused by ill-wishers.

For those who are more deeply interested in the underlying technology and how Vall-E 2 performed compared to other, similar solutions, you can find more information here. You can also listen to the sound samples generated on the site.
