This Dystopian Wearable Detects AIs Pretending to Be Humans

As AI algorithms that can impersonate the human voice get better and better, it might not be long before you pick up the phone and genuinely can't tell if you're talking to a human or a machine that's been trained to sound like one. In the far future, you might not be able to tell the difference in person, either. In this vision of a future filled with computers pretending to be people, you might need a device like the Anti-AI AI. Designed as a fun proof-of-concept by Australian firm DT, the device uses essentially the same algorithms that impersonate human voices to detect if you're being spoken to by a computer. If the Anti-AI AI clocks some synthesized vocal patterns, it uses a thermoelectric plate to literally send a chill down your spine.
