Our Commitment to Consent

Sep 4, 2024

Remember when creating a synthetic voice meant hours in a studio, carefully recording every syllable? Now, with a few clicks, you can clone anyone’s voice. It’s mind-blowing tech.

But with great power comes great responsibility.

At Resemble, we’ve always believed that consent isn’t just nice to have – it’s non-negotiable. It’s the bedrock of what we do. Why? Because your voice is you. It’s personal. It’s powerful. And it should be protected.

So we decided to do things differently:

1. From the very beginning of Resemble, we built a consent system that’s as solid as they come. No permission? No voice cloning. Simple as that.
2. We created Resemblyzer – an open-source speaker verification model. It’s like a digital fingerprint for voices, ensuring that the person giving consent matches the voice in the dataset. Because in a world where voices can be replicated, we need to be sure we’re working with the real deal.
3. We developed Identity – think of it as a bouncer for voice prints. It checks IDs and keeps the imposters out.
4. We invented a deep learning model called PerTH Watermark – like a digital signature for AI voices. Because authenticity never goes out of style.
5. We engineered a cutting-edge deepfake detection model. It’s a versatile guardian, capable of identifying synthetic audio across different AI vendors, languages, and even music. In a world where fake voices are becoming increasingly sophisticated, this tool stands as our frontline defense against audio deception.

Is this the easiest path? Nope. Is it more work? You bet. But it’s the right thing to do.

Look, the genie’s out of the bottle. Voice AI is here to stay. But we get to decide what kind of future we want to build with it.

The path forward for voice AI is clear to us: innovative, powerful, and fundamentally ethical. We’re excited to see where it leads.

It’s an ambitious goal. But the best ones always are.

This is the future of voice AI we’re committed to building. It’s challenging, but it’s worth it. If you share our vision, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s create something amazing together.
