Frequently Asked Questions
Will AI voices become indistinguishable from humans?
For most listening contexts, yes. Distinguishing AI from human will become difficult for casual listeners. However, trained listeners and detection tools will likely maintain the ability to identify synthetic speech.
What about voice cloning regulations?
We expect 2026 to bring clearer regulatory frameworks in major markets. Consent requirements, disclosure standards, and liability frameworks will likely crystallize into formal regulation.
