ElevenLabs AI Speech Classifier: Elevating Safety Standards for AI-generated Audio Content

The Rise of Generative AI

Generative AI has revolutionized the production of images, texts, and sound clips, making them frequently comparable to human-generated content. At ElevenLabs, we're enthusiastic about these technologies' potential to catalyze creativity and broaden accessibility. However, we also understand the imperative of utilizing these advancements responsibly. To truly leverage their advantages, it's essential to build solid frameworks ensuring their ethical and safe application. At ElevenLabs, our dedication lies in taking significant strides towards introducing protective measures and championing educational campaigns that encourage the conscientious use of generative AI.

AI Speech Classifier: Advancing Towards Transparent AI

We are excited to unveil our latest innovation: the AI Speech Classifier. This pioneering verification tool allows you to submit any audio clip and determine if it was produced using ElevenLabs AI-generated sound.

The introduction of the AI Speech Classifier marks a significant advancement in our quest to establish reliable tracking for AI-created media. Through this release, we aim to strengthen our pledge to uphold transparency within the realm of generative media.

Mechanism and Known Limitations

The sound produced by our system carries distinct, recognizable features. When you introduce an audio sample to the AI Speech Classifier, our algorithm scrutinizes it for these traits. It can then ascertain if the audio was crafted using our platform. Presently, we achieve >99% accuracy for untouched input. However, if the audio faced Codec or reverb modifications, our Classifier's accuracy stands at over 90%. The accuracy diminishes further with extensive post-processing. The inclusion of extra audio tracks can also skew results.

We're perpetually refining our model to recognize a wider array of audio alterations, and we anticipate better detection rates in the future.

A Proactive Stand against Malicious Use of AI

At the forefront of AI innovations, we believe it's our duty to champion education, endorse safe practices, and maintain clarity in the domain of generative audio. We strive to ensure these technologies are not just universally available but also fortified against misuse. With the introduction of the AI Speech Classifier, we're offering tools that complement our broader educational initiatives, such as our guide on ethically and legally using Voice Cloning.

At ElevenLabs, our mission is crafting secure instruments that foster outstanding content creation. We're confident that our position as an entity enables us to establish and uphold safeguards often missing in open-source platforms. Through today's launch, we also hope to equip enterprises and institutions, allowing them to harness our research and technology to strengthen their own protective measures.
