I visited Modulate’s headquarters to hear about the company’s technology and ambitions, and to discuss the ethical implications of using AI to copy someone else’s voice. I can hold a lengthy phone conversation in the guise of Katie if I wish. Using this approach, it is possible to assume any age, gender, or tone you’d like, all in real time. The technology goes far beyond the simple voice filters that can let you sound like Kylo Ren. My feminine “voice skin” was created by Modulate.ai, a company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The firm uses machine learning to copy, model, and manipulate the properties of voice in a powerful new way. But somehow I now sound like a youngish woman with a high-pitched voice. The accent, emotion, and intonation are all mine.
