The advancement of technology can be noticed in several areas: from devices that can clean your home's floor, those that talk and, now, the robot that imitates human voices. Microsoft's breakthrough Artificial Intelligence, or AI, can mimic a human's voice within just three seconds.
Generally, the voices of Artificial Intelligences are very characteristic of a robot, being noticeable that the conversation is “robotized”. The training of AI to replicate human voices, it took 60,000 hours of audio with humans speaking in English.

Call AI VALL-E, the program is able to create speeches from a text and also convey emotion through what is being said. The tone of voice is something that can also be changed, in addition to the fact that technology will use expressions belonging to human language.
Microsoft creates VALL-E, AI software that mimics voice
In Portuguese, the Microsoft's AI
is a kind of “text to speech” (text-to-speech) and has been an object of technological studies at Cornell University in New York City (USA). Basically, the technology is capable of reproducing human speech, with audio quality, in just three seconds.Small excerpts of a text reproduced in different ways are used. The same text can be read in different ways, causing different emotions in what is being passed.
Most of the time, the AI does the perfect reproduction of the texts, but some specific points make the characteristic more robot-like. In any case, in most of the test the voice was able to represent the text read well.
Counterpoint at test time
The AI VALL-E would be capable, for example, of perfectly simulating voices without being authorized to do so. Therefore, the reach of creation can become something effectively bad when ethics are not respected. It could easily be used for phone scams or messages from politicians to reproduce fake news, for example.
For this reason, Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence is not available to the public, and only sample disclosure studies can be used.
