1. What is identified as the primary operational risk when using ElevenLabs voice cloning technology?

   1. Maintaining proper consent records and provenance discipline
   2. Achieving perfect audio quality in every recording environment
   3. Finding enough computing power to run the models
   4. Securing browser compatibility for web-based tools

2. Why should organizations store consent information in a dedicated registry rather than simple document files?

   1. Registry storage improves the quality of generated audio
   2. The AI requires formal database input to function properly
   3. Audits and disputes may arise years after the voice was originally used
   4. Legal compliance must be verified in real-time during each generation

3. What happens to C2PA and audio watermarks when voiceover files are compressed or re-encoded?

   1. They become permanently embedded and cannot be removed
   2. They degrade and lose their effectiveness as verification tools
   3. They strengthen and become more difficult to forge
   4. They automatically transfer to any new file copies

4. Which piece of information is NOT required in the consent registry for a cloned voice?

   1. The performer's favorite recording studio
   2. Scope of permitted use
   3. Signed consent from the voice source
   4. Expiration date of consent

5. What risk remains unresolved even with proper consent documentation?

   1. Automatic detection of fraudulent usage attempts
   2. Complete immunity from all future legal claims
   3. Guaranteed protection from competitor challenges
   4. Potential SAG-AFTRA disputes without explicit performer consent

6. How does ElevenLabs handle multilingual voice generation?

   1. It needs manual translation input for each language
   2. It requires a different voice actor for each language version
   3. It creates voiceover in multiple languages from a single source voice
   4. It only supports English-language output

7. Based on the lesson, how should watermarks be viewed in the context of voice cloning?

   1. As legally binding guarantees that prevent all unauthorized use
   2. As permanent markers that survive any amount of re-encoding
   3. As evidence supporting provenance rather than as absolute protection against misuse
   4. As shields that eliminate the need for consent documentation

8. What is the main operational concern when using ElevenLabs for professional voiceover work?

   1. Ensuring the AI produces emotionally nuanced performances
   2. Maintaining rigorous consent documentation and watermark discipline
   3. Finding voices that match specific age groups
   4. Selecting voices that work in offline environments

9. Why is it important to understand that watermarks degrade through compression?

   1. Because compressed audio sounds better to listeners
   2. Because they work better in video formats
   3. Because they cannot be relied upon as the sole evidence of consent
   4. Because they become more secure after compression

10. What happens to a cloned voice during a SAG-AFTRA dispute if explicit performer consent is missing?

    1. The voice gains additional legal protections
    2. The voice is immediately deleted from all systems
    3. The voice automatically becomes property of the union
    4. The voice may not be legally permitted to continue use

11. What four pieces of information should be stored together in the consent registry?

    1. Signed consent, scope-of-use, expiration date, and revocation contact
    2. Model version, processing time, output format, and bitrate
    3. Browser type, internet speed, user location, and session duration
    4. Audio file size, recording date, studio name, and editor name

12. What is a key capability of ElevenLabs voice cloning regarding language support?

    1. Requiring native speakers for each language
    2. Limiting output to two languages per cloned voice
    3. Only producing English-language content
    4. Generating voiceover in multiple languages from one voice sample

13. What type of attack can voice cloning technology still be used for despite ethical guidelines?

    1. Legal prosecution of copyright violations
    2. Translation of languages the AI has not learned
    3. Fraud and scam-call attacks using impersonated voices
    4. Automatic detection of telemarketing calls

14. What audio input is needed to create a production-quality voice clone?

    1. Any low-quality audio file
    2. Minutes of clean audio at production quality
    3. A single second of recorded speech
    4. Video footage without audio

15. What must be verified before using a cloned voice commercially, beyond technical capability?

    1. Explicit performer consent and proper consent documentation
    2. Availability of the original performer for future sessions
    3. Completion of a technical audit of the cloning software
    4. Approval from all voice actor unions worldwide
