Google says that its Duplex AI voice calling system will have 'disclosure' built-in for identifying itself to humans
The Google AI assistant did not identify itself as an AI assistant so people are voicing concerns about how the voice technology could deceive people. The entire conversation sounded extremely natural with the Assistant using verbal ticks such as ‘um’ and ‘ah’ along with pauses before responding and also stretching out certain words, so much so that it would be near enough impossible to mistake it for an AI assistant. The AI assistant did not identify itself as an AI assistant and that has led some people to voice concerns about how the voice technology could deceive people. However, as per a report by Bloomberg, the astonishingly human-like demo of the Google Duplex has alarmed tech critics who feel that AI technology is being developed without supervision.
