AI Transparency Coalition

Statement on AI Transparency

The spread of AI-generated audio presents serious risks to individuals, businesses, and democratic societies. Without clear transparency measures, this technology can be exploited for harmful purposes, including:
Manipulation and harm caused by deceptive AI voice agents.
AI receiving revenue intended for human music & podcast creators.
Misrepresentation of AI-generated audio as human-created content.
Financial fraud via AI-powered voice scams.
Erosion of democratic discourse through AI-generated deepfakes.
We believe transparency in AI audio is non-negotiable. We urge all stakeholders to commit to labeling AI-generated audio, ensuring that people can clearly distinguish between human-created and AI-generated content. Implementing labeling will reduce risks and foster a more trustworthy digital ecosystem.
