Meanwhile, OpenAI implemented a system to block outputs outside of the default voices and to prevent the generation of violent or copyrighted content.

As a result, over 100 external red teamers tested Advanced Voice Mode in 45 languages.

The company also revealed that video and screen-sharing capabilities will be added to complement the voice mode.

Since its initial announcement in May, OpenAI has focused on enhancing the safety and quality of voice conversations.

In a series of social media posts, OpenAI said: “We’re starting to roll out advanced Voice Mode to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users. Advanced Voice Mode offers more natural, real-time conversations, allows you to interrupt anytime, and senses and responds to your emotions.

“Since we first demoed advanced Voice Mode, we’ve been working to reinforce the safety and quality of voice conversations as we prepare to bring this frontier technology to millions of people.”

The company added: “Learnings from this alpha will help us make the Advanced Voice experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone. We plan to share a detailed report on GPT-4o’s capabilities, limitations, and safety evaluations in early August.”
