Kol Isha and Artificial Intelligence
Question
Is it permitted to listen to women’s singing that was generated by artificial intelligence? For example, if an AI program creates a song with a woman’s voice, does this involve the prohibition of kol be’isha (a woman’s voice)?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
It is forbidden to listen.
[The prohibition is because of arousal of improper thoughts, and this applies to anything that sounds like a woman’s voice].
