Resemble AI Raises $8M and Launches Deepfake Voice Detector

Resemble AI, the company behind generative AI-fueled voice cloning technology, has raised $8 million in a Series A funding round led by Javelin Venture Partners with Comcast Ventures. The company’s technology can train a voice clone with just five minutes of a person’s voice, and it has recently expanded its applications to include voice cloning for translation. Resemble AI’s voice cloning was featured in last year’s Netflix documentary, The Andy Warhol Diaries, where the AI-generated voice of the artist read excerpts from his memoir.

Resemble Reality

Resemble AI’s generative AI models have improved over the years, enabling them to create better-sounding voices from smaller recording samples. The company has also ventured into the entertainment industry, with its voice cloning technology being used for dubbing and other applications. Resemble AI considers itself a generative AI company at heart and has seen significant growth in its user base, with a million users and a good portion of them paying customers.

Detect Deepfake

Resemble AI has developed a new tool called Resemble Detect, which is designed to spot generative AI-produced audio, also known as deepfake audio. Resemble Detect uses sophisticated AI algorithms to listen for subtle sonic artifacts that are present in manipulated audio. It can accurately identify deepfake audio in real-time, with up to 98% accuracy if the voice or track has been encountered before, and 87% accuracy if it’s a new voice or track. Resemble AI’s technology can also tag any audio produced by its software with an audio watermark, which can be used to trace back the audio to its original dataset.

Conclusion

Resemble AI has secured $8 million in funding and introduced its Resemble Detect tool for detecting deepfake audio. The company’s generative AI voice cloning technology has gained popularity, with applications in translation, dubbing, and the entertainment industry. Resemble Detect has proven to be highly accurate in identifying deepfake audio, and the company’s audio watermark feature enables the tracing of synthetic audio back to its source. With its success and growth, Resemble AI continues to expand its business front and explore new tech challenges and markets.
