New cheat mode, use AI voice cloning to empty victims’ coffers: Okezone techno

Cyberspace was recently rocked by news of a family who lost thousands of dollars scammed by scammers using AI-powered voice cloning technology.

It is becoming increasingly clear that those with malicious intent can harness the power of artificial intelligence to exploit unsuspecting victims.

With the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence technology, it is possible for AI to create very convincing imitation voices. AI-generated text-to-speech/text-to-speech tools allow people to create voice imitations that come within seconds of the initial audio recording.

Unfortunately, these technological advancements can be misused for nefarious purposes, such as cloning someone’s voice to drain the treasures of helpless victims.

The case that hit a Canadian citizen named Benjamin Perkin is an example of the danger posed by voice cloning fraud, cited by TechTimes.

As technology advances, artificial intelligence offers new possibilities, some of which are advancements in the field of text-to-speech. This means that within seconds of recording audio, one can create a perfect imitation of someone’s voice and use that imitation to fool others.

A great example of this recently was someone by the name of Benjamin Perkin. Perkins’ elderly parents had to swallow the bitter pill for being duped by irresponsible people into sending thousands of dollars.

They pose as Perkins and tell them that their son is in jail for killing an American diplomat in a car accident and needs money for legal fees.

What Perkins’ elderly parents didn’t know was that the scammer had cloned Perkins’ voice and convinced them that it was their son who asked for the money.

The majority of these AI voice-cloning crimes have been linked to the use of free, anonymous accounts. To stop this, a company called ElevenLabs has decided to launch a new subscription-based plan that requires users to verify their identity to use their speech synthesizer.

This will help prevent scammers from sending messages through their synthesizers. Voice cloning is a very dangerous technology, and it’s important to remember to exercise caution when providing personal information.

We recommend that you always verify the sender of a suspicious voicemail, SMS or email before sending money or other valuable information.

Awareness of new technologies can certainly help protect users and their families against fraud. As technology develops rapidly, it is necessary to pay attention to the potential for misuse of AI.

The case of Benjamin Perkin is a testament to the harm that can result from the misuse of AI capabilities. It is essential to take steps to ensure that companies protect individuals from harm caused by these invasive technologies.
