Voice Cloning with Consent

To combat the risks of malicious voice cloning, a new system called a "voice consent gate" ensures a voice can only be replicated after the speaker gives explicit, recordable permission. This innovative approach requires a person to speak a unique, system-generated sentence that both states their consent and provides the necessary audio sample for the cloning process. The recorded phrase is then verified by an AI, which unlocks the voice cloning model, cleverly using the act of consent itself as the technical input for the synthesis. By embedding consent directly into the system's workflow, this method turns an ethical principle into a functional and auditable part of the AI's infrastructure.
