In the never-ending battle of figuring out what’s real and what’s created by\u00a0artificial intelligence<\/span><\/span>, NordVPN<\/span><\/span> has a new browser tool that can help you separate human voices from fakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NordVPN’s new tool listens to audio from your open browser window and alerts you if it detects a human or AI-generated voice. The feature is currently only available in NordVPN’s Chrome browser extension, and you’ll need to enable the tool to start detecting voices on websites in real time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It isn’t clear when the tool will roll out to other extensions, such as\u00a0Firefox<\/span><\/span> and Edge<\/span><\/span>, or which plans include the AI Voice Detector. NordVPN didn’t immediately respond to CNET’s request for comment. In the meantime, here’s what we know about the tool and how it works.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How NordVPN’s AI Voice Detector works\u00a0<\/h2>\n

\"AI <\/p>\n

NordVPN partnered with NordLabs’ cybersecurity experts and tested both real and AI-generated audio. The tool uses an AI model to distinguish between the two types of voices, according to Thursday’s announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works. You’ll enable the feature in your Chrome extension, and the AI voice detector will run in the background on the tab you have open. You’ll receive an update on the voice detector’s results in the extension, and a pop-up that will display one of three colors from the sound:<\/p>\n
