SUMMARY:FACTOR talk: McVean - Sounds familiar: How does a listener’s familiarity with a voice affect their detection of an AI-generated version of that voice?
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF ROOM FROM Bowland North SR02 TO 
 Bowland North SR20\n\nRecent technological advancements mean that 
 AI-generated speech has rapidly advanced in quality\, to the point where it 
 can be virtually indistinguishable from genuine human speech. This opens 
 the door to a new breed of cybercrime: one which utilises AI to create 
 fraudulent representations of a target’s speech in an attempt to deceive 
 listeners into believing that they are genuine. Presently\, curbing this 
 deception is difficult\, since the conditions dictating accurate 
 discrimination between genuine and synthetic speech are little understood. 
 This talk examines one factor: a potential victim’s familiarity with the 
 speaker’s voice. When the speaker’s voice is well-known to a listener 
 (i.e. a celebrity or loved one)\, does this impact the listener’s ability 
 to recognise an AI-generated sample of that speaker’s voice? If so\, why? 
 What other factors may also be at play\, and how might those factors 
 interact with familiarity to influence the potential victim’s 
 performance? With the insights gained by addressing these questions\, we 
 begin to give ourselves the tools to mitigate against AI-mediated 
 cybercrime.
