Shen Anyu, a professional voice actor from China, lost his job because his voice was cloned by AI technology without his permission. This voice cloning spread widely on the internet and caused digital platforms to mistakenly identify Shen's original recordings as synthetic voices. As a result, clients began switching to using synthetic voices similar to Shen's, reducing the number of projects he received. Although Shen has tried to prove that his voice is real through a clarification video, the negative impact of this voice cloning is still felt in his livelihood. Shen's case highlights the risks and challenges faced by professional voice actors in an increasingly advanced AI technology era.
