  "account": "A team of researchers at Sungkyunkwan University has created a voice security technology aimed at tackling the growing issue of voice deepfake crimes, the university announced on Wednesday. Under the leadership of Professor Park Eun-il from the Department of Applied Artificial Intelligence, the team showcased how their technology can identify audio that has been manipulated and inserted into genuine voice recordings. The innovative technology holds potential for various everyday security applications, such as preventing voice phishing, verifying voices for financial services, and analyzing digital evidence. To achieve this, the researchers employed artificial intelligence (AI) to meticulously examine subtle modifications in audio signals and speech patterns, which are beyond human detection. These alterations can be pinpointed with pinpoint accuracy, down to a single second. The team's findings have been published in two papers, which have been accepted for presentation at Interspeech 2026, an annual gathering of the International Speech Communication Association focused on speech science and technology. The conference is set to take place from September 27 to October 1 in Sydney, Australia.",
