Greg Marston, a British voice actor, recently came across “Connor” online — an A.I.-generated clone of his voice, trained on a recording Mr. Marston had made in 2003. Of course, at that time, Mr. Marston couldn’t envision that IBM would use anything more than the exact utterances he had recorded. Mr. Marston recently discovered his voice emanating from the Wimbledon website during the tennis tournament.

News outlets including The New York Times and CNN have added files to their website to help prevent A.I.
