AI and not tricking people with fake voices
AI can copy voices — using that to trick someone is wrong.
Explorers · Ethics & Society · ~7 min read
The big idea
AI can copy voices — using that to trick someone is wrong.
Some examples
- AI tools can sound like your teacher, mom, or friend
- Using a fake voice to scare people is mean and unsafe
- Fake voice messages can get someone in real trouble
- Always tell people when a voice is AI-made
Try it!
If you make a funny AI voice, start the clip with 'this is AI, not a real person'.
Practice this safely
Try this with a low-stakes example and a trusted adult nearby. The goal is to notice how AI talks about fakes, not to let it make the decision for you.
- 1Ask AI to explain fakes in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "AI and not tricking people with fake voices" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check voice against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
