The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has created many opportunities for individuals and businesses, but this technology may also help criminals develop new methods for stealing. AI voice scams are a rising threat and generally entail a perpetrator using software programs to impersonate someone in an attempt to extort another party.
If criminals can find a recording of someone’s voice, such as through a video posted on social media, they may be able to “spoof” that person’s voice. The voice audio can be uploaded to AI software and used to record text composed by a scammer while sounding like the victim. Perpetrators may then target family members or business associates using the fake voice and attempt to extort money or information, such as by fabricating an urgent or dangerous situation that requires swift action.
