AIGC Generative Speech Technology: An Examination of Its Communication Paradigms and Evolutionary Reflections

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) represents a new opportunity for the development of intelligent communication. The development of AIGC technology has given rise to new media transformations, creating new content production and dissemination methods. As one of the core areas of the AIGC application, generative speech technology, due to its low cost and simplicity, has been widely used in scenarios such as audiovisual narration, artificial intelligence anchor broadcasting, and audiobook content production. However, the use of AIGC-generated content in practice, due to default program settings and low barriers to entry, leads to the proliferation of homogenization. On the regulatory side, the lack of effective oversight has led to the misuse of technology and the emergence of communication risks and ethical issues in artificial intelligence. Lastly, the decentralized and fragmented communication model has led to the uncontrollable emergence and development of public opinion events, diluting the discourse power of authoritative media, with rumor clarification becoming the main post-event means to clarify public opinion whirlpools. Based on this, this paper starts from the application scenarios of generative speech technology, reflects on the new issues in the field of "artificial intelligence + speech generation" applications, and aims to provide a deeper technological reflection and new development ideas.
