Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey’s company, Block, has introduced a Voice AI technology so realistic that most people might initially believe they’re talking to a real human!
The new system is called Dessa. What makes it truly remarkable is that it has been trained using only real human voices, rather than robotic or artificial-sounding audio. As a result, it can laugh, pause mid-sentence, breathe, and even change its tone to express emotions just like a real person.
Another surprising fact is that this technology can run on a regular MacBook Pro without relying on massive internet-based servers. This means advanced voice technology is no longer limited to big tech companies—it’s gradually becoming accessible to more people.
However, alongside the excitement, there are growing concerns. If an AI voice sounds this realistic, how will we protect ourselves from scammers who imitate the voices of our loved ones over the phone?
The technology is still in the research stage, but one thing is becoming clear: in the future, simply recognizing someone’s voice over the phone may no longer be enough to know who we’re really talking to.
