Seoul-based Klling, for its part, told Rest of World it combines AI dubbing with deepfake technology, where actors lip-sync to computer-generated voices.

Earlier this year, Alejandro Graue got a YouTube alert: A new video had been uploaded to a self-improvement channel for which he’d recorded voice-overs in the past.
