Cai luong artist Le Thuy is upset because her voice was edited by AI technology, causing many people to mistake her for singing Korean or Thai music.
Over the past few days, many audiences have complained to Le Thuy about hearing her sing some foreign and pop music recordings. Thanks to her son - singer Duong Dinh Tri - checking, Le Thuy said she discovered TikTok accounts using AI (artificial intelligence) technology to impersonate her voice. Some videos of Le Thuy singing Nguoc troi thoi gian de yeu anh (Thai film soundtrack), Dai minh tinh (hit by Van Mai Huong), Kill this love (Blackpink), attracted hundreds of thousands of views.

According to the artist, the videos are edited in a sophisticated way, using her quotes from the Le Thuy Memoirs tape to create a complete song. Many older audiences who are not familiar with technology expressed their confusion and disappointment to her because they thought the artist had changed her music genre. "I would like to clarify that I have no need to change genres or innovate with pop music. I will only sing Cai Luong until my health no longer allows it," Le Thuy said.
Singer Duong Dinh Tri said he is investigating the matter further before asking the management agency to intervene. According to him, if he discovers that there is a team behind the incident, intentionally using the artist's voice and image to attract interactions and cause misunderstandings, he will seek legal help.

AI voice mimicry technology has emerged since mid-2022. Vall-E - a platform developed by Microsoft - is one of the AIs that has impressed with its ability to mimic anyone's voice in just three seconds. This AI uses training data to match what it "knows" about the intonation of the voice, then can say other phrases according to what it "learned".
In music, the “AI cover” wave has been on the rise since last year, when many people used AI to create recordings of artists covering each other’s hits. However, experts are concerned that this technology can be used for bad purposes, such as impersonating voices to commit fraud and blackmail.
