AI recreates voices of dead pilots from crash data, NTSB suspends database

By PulseAugur Editorial · [22 sources] · 2023-01-04 00:00

AI tools have been used to reconstruct the voices of pilots killed in a plane crash by analyzing spectrograms from NTSB accident reports. This workaround circumvents federal laws prohibiting the release of cockpit audio recordings, prompting the NTSB to temporarily suspend public access to its accident database. The use of AI, such as OpenAI's Codex, has made it easier for individuals to recreate this audio, raising ethical concerns about consent and the misuse of synthetic media. AI

IMPACT Raises ethical questions about synthetic media and consent, and highlights the potential for AI to bypass legal restrictions.

RANK_REASON AI was used to circumvent regulations on releasing sensitive audio data, leading to a regulatory body suspending access to its database.
