2 out of 3 Americans cannot distinguish AI voices from real voices
August 20, 2024
A survey of 1,000 Americans has revealed attitudes and concerns toward AI technology. The survey found that most Americans cannot tell the difference between AI voices and real voices — when asked whether a human voice was real or AI-generated, 2 out of 3 respondents incorrected identified the authentic human voice as AI. Moreover, 81% of Americans are concerned about potential implications of AI voice cloning.
The top threats Americans are concerned about include:
- Manipulation and deception (69%)
- Identity theft (60%)
- Privacy concerns (47%)
- Data misuse (44%)
- Job displacement (27%)
26% of Americans are wary about AI voice technology; additionally, more and more Americans worrying that AI may influence elections. Perhaps as a result, 64% of those surveyed believe AI education should be added into school curriculums.
