Abstract Recent advances in generative AI have made voice cloning widely accessible, raising pressing legal and ethical concerns. Besides economic harm and misuse in fraud or blackmail, the voice’s intricate connection to identity highlights a further dimension of risk, as argued in a recent article by Berkowitz and Sweeney. The following explores how different dimensions of identity intersect with the voice and how voice cloning technology can impact them. The extensive connections between voice and identity should be taken into account when legislating and regulating voice cloning.
