## AI overview

This article presents a voice consent gate for voice cloning. The system requires a speaker to generate and speak a consent phrase, uses automatic speech recognition to verify it, and only then permits a text-to-speech voice-cloning model to run. The design makes consent a traceable and auditable prerequisite for AI action while addressing both the risks and beneficial uses of voice cloning.
