When you listen to a radio programme, watch an animated film, or even receive a phone call, it\\u2019s unlikely you\\u2019ll question whether the words you\\u2019re hearing are coming from the mouth of a human being. But all that could be about to change thanks to the rise of \\u2018voice cloning\\u2019.

Elaine Moore is a tech columnist at the Financial Times and she\\u2019s interested in the ramifications of this new technology. Thanks to artificial intelligence, cloning a human voice can be achieved with just a few minutes of recorded audio. As the technology becomes more sophisticated and its use more widespread, how will this affect our society, our politics and our personal interactions? And is it time we were able to control what happens to our own voice both now and when we die?
