Terrifying AI learns to mimic your voice in under 60 seconds

When it comes to personal privacy and overall security, we often think of passwords, fingerprints, and even our own faces as being the keys that unlock our world, but what about your voice? If someone could perfectly mimic your voice, what kind of damage could they do? If they contacted people you know, could they lie their way into gaining private information about you? Unfortunately, we may soon live in a world where such a danger is real, thanks to extremely powerful -- and admittedly very cool -- deep learning technology that can mimic your voice using just 60 seconds worth of your speech. Canadian tech startup Lyrebird's new voice-copying tech was unveiled this week, and it sounds like something straight out of a futuristic thriller.
