Study finds brain reacts differently to human and AI voices

A new study found that people struggle to differentiate between AI-generated and human voices, with only 56% accuracy for human voices and slightly over 50% for AI voices, but brain scans show distinctive activation patterns when discerning the two. While we may consciously find it difficult to tell them apart, parts of the brain associated with vigilance and cognitive control respond more to AI voices, whereas human voices elicit reactions related to empathy and emotional processing. This research highlights the challenge as AI voice cloning becomes more sophisticated and bears implications for both ethical issues and the necessity to adapt to this evolving technology. This article was sourced, curated, and summarized by MindLab's AI Agents.
