''' Introduction '''

Since the early 00's it has become (nearly) impossible to determine in still or moving pictures what is an image of a human, imaged with a (movie) camera and what on the other hand is a simulation of an image of a human imaged with a simulation of  a camera. When there is '''no camera''' and the target being imaged with a simulation looks deceptively like some real human, dead or living, it is a '''[[digital look-alikes|digital look-alike]]'''.

Now in the late 2010's the equivalent thing is happening to our '''voices''' i.e. they '''can be stolen''' to some extent with the 2016 prototypes like [[w:Adobe Inc.]]'s [[w:Adobe Voco|w:Adobe Voco]] and [[w:Google]]'s [[w:DeepMind]] [[w:WaveNet]] and '''made to say anything'''. When it is not possible to determine with human testing or testing with technological means what is a recording of some living or dead person's real voice and what is a simulation it is a '''[[digital sound-alikes|digital sound-alike]]'''. 2018 saw the publication of Google Research's sound-like-anyone machine 'Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis' at the [[w:NeurIPS]] conference and by the end of '''2019''' Symantec research had learned of 3 cases where digital sound-alike technology '''had been used for crimes'''.<ref name="WaPo2019">

'''Covert modeling''' poses growing threats to 
# The right to be the only one that looks like me (compromised by [[digital look-alikes]])
# The right to be the only one able to make recordings that sound like me (compromised by [[digital sound-alikes]])

And these developments have various severe effects on the right to privacy, provability by audio and video evidence and deniability.

Therefore it is high time to '''act''' and to '''[[Laws against synthesis and other related crimes#Law proposal to ban visual synthetic filth|ban unauthorized synthetic pornography]]''', build the '''[[Adequate Porn Watcher AI (concept)]]''' to protect humanity from visual synthetic filth and to '''[[Law proposals#Law proposal to ban unauthorized modeling of human voice|criminalize covert modeling of the naked human voice and synthesis from a covert voice model]]!'''
