A number of reports about people receiving phone calls from their "loved ones" asking for money transfers have surfaced in recent weeks. These voices often call from unknown numbers and often sound very strange, but they can be lifelike enough to trick people. Especially if they're not so tech-savvy. How is this accomplished? Simple, the voices are generated by AI.
This has been something of a concern for me as I used to do a fair amount of streaming in my younger days and, as such, my voice will be relatively easy to find online and copy. This means it would be possible for scammers to generate my voice with relative ease and use it in a scam against anyone who knows my voice.
