\n\t\t\t\t\t“Many people won\u2019t know if the announcer on the radio…. or even the news they\u2019re listening to, is actually human.”\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Australian Association of Voice Actors is continuing its campaign against the use of AI generated content, now calling on the government to mandate the labelling of all AI-generated content.<\/p>\n
AAVA is asking the Australian Government to establish regulatory change to introduce mandatory explicit labelling and watermarking of AI-generated audio, visual and written content into all broadcast and advertising codes of practice.<\/p>\n
AAVA President Simon Kennedy said, \u201cThis technology has come so far, so quickly, that many people won\u2019t know if the announcer on the radio, the voiceover convincing them to buy something, or even the news they\u2019re listening to, is actually human. Transparency is crucial\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all deserve to choose if we want to engage with content that isn\u2019t human-created,\u201d says Teresa Lim, Vice President of AAVA. \u201cUse of an AI-generated radio announcer by the ARN network recently led listeners to believe that a woman of Asian decent was on-air. Neither was true, it wasn\u2019t even a human. This was only disclosed when the truth was uncovered by a journalist\u201d.<\/p>\n
Alistair Lee, AAVA\u2019s disability advocate and a blind voice actor, said,\u00a0 \u201cStating up-front that something is AI is essential for those us who are more vulnerable. For people who can\u2019t read a disclaimer on the bottom of a screen, it also needs to be audible. I have a keener sense of hearing than most, but even for me it\u2019s getting harder to tell what\u2019s real and what isn\u2019t\u201d.<\/p>\n
AAVA has previously called for Identity Protections for all Australians, in a call to outlaw the creation of AI voice clones and deepfakes without informed and explicit consent.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Many people won\u2019t know if the announcer on the radio…. or even the news they\u2019re listening to, is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,254,255,64,63,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-80087","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-au","12":"tag-australia","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
