| AI Voice Cloning Could Present Abuse, Threats to Everyday Life The potential risks of artificial intelligence (AI) voice cloning technology have been highlighted in a new report by Fox 26 Houston. This technology has the potential to disrupt the everyday lives of individuals and communities, with the dangers ranging from impersonation to harassment. Voice cloning technology, which is a type of AI-driven technology, enables users to create a realistic-sounding clone of a person’s voice. The technology uses spoken samples of a person’s voice, such as a phone conversation, to create an artificial voice that sounds like the person. This allows for the creation of audio recordings that can be used by malicious actors to impersonate people or spread false or misleading information. The report said that the threat of abuse from this technology is real and that it could be used for criminal activities, such as identity theft, harassment, and fraud. Fraudsters could use voice cloning to trick unsuspecting victims into providing access to their financial accounts or other sensitive information. Furthermore, the technology could be used to discredit people, spread false information, or to threaten or coerce individuals. The report also noted that the threat of AI voice cloning technology needs to be taken seriously and that further research and regulations need to be implemented to ensure that individuals and companies are taking the necessary precautions to protect themselves. The report concluded that in order to protect our everyday lives from these threats, we need to be aware of the potential risks and take steps to mitigate them. |
