Summary

The winning projects, from both large and small organizations, used various types of technology to detect voice cloning and prevent voice clips from being cloned—ranging from detecting biosignals to authenticating a speaker to an AI that identifies synthetic voices. This was the sixth Challenge the FTC has launched under the America COMPETES Act.
