New Tech Watermarks Audio to Catch AI Fakes and Deepfakes
This could stop fake audio scams and protect your voice from being cloned.
Deep Dive
arXivLabs is a framework that lets collaborators develop and share new arXiv features directly on the arXiv website. Both the individuals and organizations that work with arXivLabs have embraced and accepted arXiv's values of openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy — and arXiv is committed to those values, working only with partners that adhere to them. If you have an idea for a project that would add value for arXiv's community, you can learn more about arXivLabs.
Key Points
- CochlearMark hides a secret code in audio that computers can detect but humans can't hear.
- It mimics how our ears process sound, making it robust against common audio changes.
- This could help verify real recordings and fight AI voice scams, but it's not yet available to the public.
Why It Matters
This could protect you from audio deepfake scams and ensure the music and voices you love are authentic.
