Voiceverse NFT plagiarism scandal

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain
Artificial Intelligence

The Voiceverse NFT plagiarism scandal began in January 2022, when the pseudonymous creator of 15.ai found that Voiceverse had used its AI voice synthesis platform to generate audio samples. Voiceverse pitch-shifted the samples and marketed them as its own technology for NFTs. The issue drew further attention after voice actor Troy Baker announced a partnership with Voiceverse. Voiceverse confessed, and Baker ended the partnership later that month.

Date: January 2022
Voiceverse response: It confessed after being confronted with evidence.
Partnership outcome: Troy Baker ended his Voiceverse partnership on January 31, 2022.
