Sound of Birds Chirping Can Be Used to Hack Voice Assistants

Description

According reports from Digital Trends, and scientists at Ruhr-Universitaet in Bochum, Germany have discovered that the sounds of birds chirping could potentially be used to launch an attack against voice assistants like Amazon's Alexa. Researchers have found that manipulated audio files are part of what is called an “adversarial attack,” which is used to confuse the deep neural networks that help artificial intelligence-powered assistants like Apple’s Siri, and Google’s Assistant. Using the sound of birds chirping in a way that only the microphone on your smart speaker or smartphone can pick up would bypasses detection from human ears and the sound could potentially disrupt the A.I. assistant

  • Renault, in tune with the sound - Episode 2 - The voice of electric vehicles

    Since the very beginning of the development of Renault’s first electric models, a series of new and fascinating questions have arisen about the characteristic silence of the way they work. How do you warn pedestrians of the approach of a vehicle that has an engine that makes almost no noise? How do you produce an audible warning that is both effective and benign? How do you create a signature sound design for electric vehicles that is exclusive to the brand? Laurent Worms, the Audio Strategy Manager at Renault Group, tells us about the process for creating what is known as a VSP. And to explore the voices of the electric vehicles of the future, a visit to Renault Group’s long-time partner, Ircam (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music), is a must!

  • Story Renault - The story behind the sound design with Jean-Michel Jarre - the documentary

    Artist, songwriter and author, electronica pioneer and technology aficionado, Jean-Michel Jarre is committed to working with Renault to develop the best possible in-car sound experience for the brand's new vehicles. One of his first projects was the development, along with Ircam and the group's sound design teams, of two types of sound for Renault's electric and hybrid models: the VSP (Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians), a low-speed exterior warning sound for pedestrians, and the Welcome sound sequence when entering the vehicle.The documentary "The story behind the sound design" goes behind the scenes of the work carried out and shows Jean-Michel Jarre's contribution as an artist as well as an engineer. It shines a spotlight on an amazing human adventure and explains the many issues involved in sound design, from the first thoughts to the reveal of these sounds on Scenic E-Tech electric at the 2023 IAA Munich Motor Show.
