OpenAI has made its artificial intelligence (AI) even more humanly eerie with a text-to-voice tool that generates natural speech from a 15-second clip of someone’s voice to sound like the original speaker. But even OpenAI is wary about the potential misuse of the technology and says it will not release Voice Engine publicly, with it currently only being available to early testers. “We recognise that generating speech that resembles people’s voices has serious risks, which are especially top of mind in an election year,” the San Francisco-based company said in a statement.

If you ask American voters what their top issues are, most will point to kitchen-table issues like the economy, inflation, crime, health care or education. Fewer than 5 per cent of respondents in 2023 and 2024 Gallup surveys said that climate change was the most important problem facing the country. Despite this, research that I conducted with my colleagues suggests that concern about climate change has had a significant effect on voters’ choices in the past two presidential elections. Climate change opinions may even have had a large enough effect to change the 2020 election outcome in Presid...

In 2024, about half the world's population will determine the future of their countries in the biggest election year in history. Behind the loud scenes of political campaigns, electoral systems will have the responsibility of ensuring free and fair ballots. "The goal isn’t just to have a secure system, but to have a secure democracy," Dr David Dueñas-Cid, an associate professor at Kozminski University in Poland, told Euronews Next.

What do Adele, Bruce Springsteen, Linkin Park, Johnny Marr, Neil Young, R.E.M., The Rolling Stones and The White Stripes all have in common? No, they weren't all back-up acts at Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s son’s jaw-droppingly opulent prenuptials in case Rihanna didn't show up. They all have the significantly viler distinction of having to ask Donald Trump to stop using their songs at political rallies. This sort of thing isn’t new. Whenever election season comes a-knockin’, you can bet that a politician will attempt to walk out onto stage to a tune they consider rousing, in a bid to li...

War, uncertainty and instability are weighing down the global economy, the head of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) warned on Monday, urging the bloc to embrace reform as nearly half the world's population brace for elections this year. WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala sought to offer some praise for her organisation as it held its biennial meeting in the United Arab Emirates, even as it faces pressure from the US and other nations. But she was blunt about the risks ahead, as higher prices for food, energy and other essentials sting people's pockets, "fuelling political frustration"....

The latest figure to come out against former US president Donald Trump and his candidacy in the 2024 election may come as a surprise: his late father. The Lincoln Project, a political action committee founded by moderate Conservatives and former Republicans, has produced and posted a video generated by artificial intelligence (AI) featuring Fred Trump with some less-than encouraging words for his son. "Donny, I always knew you’d blow it," Fred says deadpan to the camera. "You were always a fool - a joke, low rent". Big Tech companies sign accord to combat AI-generated election disinformationTr...

A New York judge ruled on Thursday that Donald Trump’s hush-money trial will go ahead as scheduled with jury selection starting on March 25, despite requests made by the former president's lawyers to delay proceedings. Judge Juan Manuel Merchan took advantage of a delay in a separate case against Trump that has been brought in Washington, DC, over his efforts to interfere with the result of the 2020 election. The former president is charged with having attempted to bury stories about extramarital affairs that arose during his 2016 presidential campaign. The case centres on payoffs made to two ...

Vladimir Putin has said he would prefer incumbent Joe Biden to win in a possible contest with Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in November’s US presidential elections. In an interview with Russian state TV journalist Pavel Zarubin published on the Kremlin’s Telegram channel, Putin said Biden is "more experienced and more predictable" than former president Donald Trump, who is currently leading the race to be the Republican candidate. "He is an ‘old school’ politician," Putin said of Biden. "But we will work with any US leader, elected by the people of America," he added. When asked about th...

Nikki Haley was overwhelmingly defeated in Nevada's symbolic Republican presidential primary on Tuesday, as voters predominantly chose the “none of these candidates” option on the ballot. The result signals a strong rebuke of the former U.N. ambassador, who stands as the last remaining major rival to front-runner Donald Trump. Trump skipped the primary that does not allocate any delegates necessary for securing the GOP nomination. The former president is concentrating on the caucuses scheduled for Thursday, which will aid in his effort to become the Republican nominee. That leaves the results ...
