Most of the tools tested by researchers at the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate could be used to successfully clone a wide range of voices belonging to European and American politicians.

Voters cast ballots in Georgia's primary election at a polling location on May 21, 2024 in Atlanta. Many officials and researchers worry that audio deepfakes of politicians could be used to sway elections this year.Some of the most popular AI-driven voice cloning tools allow users to impersonate political leaders despite guardrails meant to prevent abuse, according to a new report, raising concerns about digital fabrications during an already contentious election year.

The other tools allowed researchers to clone all the voices they tried. Three tools —- Descript, Invideo AI and Veed — required the samples to be a specific statement, precluding the use of public recordings. Researchers bypassed those restrictions by using cloned voices from AI tools that don’t have this requirement.

In a statement to NPR, ElevenLabs says that they “actively block the voices of public figures at high risk of misuse” and “recognise that there is further work to be done”. The company says it hopes that competitors enable similar features.
