"NaturalSpeech 2 can synthesize speech with good expressiveness/fidelity and good similarity with a speech prompt, which could be potentially misused, such as speaker mimicking and voice spoofing. To avoid potential issues, we appeal to our practitioners to not abuse this technology and to develop defending tools to detect AI-synthesized voices. We will always take Microsoft AI Principles as guidelines to develop such AI models."
Microsoft Responsible AI Standard, v2 (General Requirements 2022)
That has a nice section called "Goal A2: Oversight of significant adverse impacts", which says "Microsoft AI systems are reviewed to identify systems that may have a significant adverse impact on people, organizations, and society, and additional oversight and requirements are applied to those systems."
I couldn't find the Impact Assessment for this tech released by Microsoft. How did the 'Natural Speech 2' fare in this review process? Where is the report?
