| Michigan Courts Warn of Risks of Voice Clones Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has re-issued a warning to consumers about the potential risks of using voice cloning technology. The alert comes in light of recent reports of increased usage of voice cloning to facilitate malicious activities, such as identity theft or fraud. In the alert, Nessel emphasizes the potential dangers of relying solely on the use of artificial intelligence-powered voice cloning apps. The AG reminds consumers that these automated technology tools can be manipulated and used to harm or deceive. Nessel notes that some voice cloning apps have already been used for malicious purposes, such as creating fake online accounts and conducting fraudulent transactions. She warns that this type of manipulation can lead to the theft of personal data, financial losses, and a range of other risks. The AG encourages consumers to take steps to protect themselves, such as using two-factor authentication, changing passwords frequently, and being wary of messages from unknown sources. Nessel emphasizes the importance of staying alert and using caution when it comes to voice cloning apps and services. By doing so, consumers can help protect themselves from becoming victims of voice cloning-related scams. |
