The recent advancement in generative AI is bringing paradigm shifts to society. Using the contemporary AI-based voice synthesizers, it now becomes practical to produce speech that vividly mimics a specific person. While these technologies are designed to improve lives, they also pose significant risks of misuse, potentially harming voice actors' livelihoods and enabling financial scams. In recognition of such threats, existing strategies primarily focus on detecting synthetic speech. In complementary to these defenses, we propose AntiFake as a proactive approach that hinders unauthorized speech synthesis. AntiFake works by adding minor noises to speech samples, such that the attacker's synthesis attempts will lead to audio that does not sound like the target speaker. To attain an optimal balance between sample quality, protection strength, and system usability, we propose adversarial optimization on the three-way trade-offs guided by minimal user inputs. In this work, we make an initial step towards actively protecting our voices, and highlight the ongoing need for robust and sustainable defenses in this evolving landscape.
