| Arizona Mom to Speak Out on Voice Clone Threat in Testimony Before Congress Phoenix resident Rachel Taylor, a single mother of two, recently experienced a disturbing incident involving artificial intelligence (AI) voice cloning. Taylor is now set to testify before the United States Congress about her experience and the need for more protections against this kind of scam. In the modern era, people have been increasingly exposed to the threat posed by voice cloning technology. This technology is used to replicate a person’s voice and can be used to commit fraud and identity theft. Unfortunately, Taylor was a victim of this kind of crime. Taylor was contacted by an “AI voice clone” claiming to be her daughter. The “clone” wanted to discuss an urgent matter and requested Taylor’s bank account information and passwords. Thankfully, Taylor recognized the scam and immediately contacted authorities. Her quick thinking saved her from becoming a victim of identity theft. Taylor’s experience will now be shared with Congress. She will be demonstrating how AI voice cloning technology has become a very real threat to millions of Americans. She will also be calling for more legal protections against this kind of scam. Her testimony will show how voice cloning technologies must be better monitored and regulated to protect consumers from becoming victims of these kinds of frauds. |
