Actor Stephen Fry issued a warning about AI cloning his voice at the CogX Festival on Thursday. Fry said his readings of the "Harry Potter" audiobooks were input into an AI and used to create new audio. Fry said it won't be long before AI is used to create "deepfake videos" of actors without consent. "They used my reading of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter books, and from that dataset, an AI of my voice was created, and it made that new narration." "It won't be long until full deepfake videos are just as convincing," he said.
