What is the reason for azure limiting the usage of speaker recognition

Question

Again, sorry if I duplicate the question. I want to know the reason why we need an application for this service? Will that cause big issue or there is any sensitive content? I need it to explain with my manager, please help.

@Dave JeathThanks for reaching out to us. As part of Microsoft's commitment to responsible AI, Speaker Recognition is designed with the intention of protecting the rights of individuals and society and fostering transparent human-computer interaction. For this reason, Microsoft's Speaker Recognition feature is a Limited Access feature available by registration only, and only for certain use cases.

Please check on the document for more details -

The Speaker Recognition is made available to customers under the terms governing their subscription to Microsoft Azure Services (including the Service Specific Terms). Please review these terms carefully as they contain important conditions and obligations governing your use of Speaker Recognition.

Microsoft limits access to speaker recognition. You can apply for access through the Azure AI services speaker recognition limited access review. For more information, see Limited access for speaker recognition.

I hope this helps, please let us know if you need more information.
