We live in a very fast-paced time. Yesterday, few people could have imagined that your voice and your face in the video could be easily spoofed. Therefore, we decided to touch on this topic and warn people that even now people should keep in mind the idea that your loved one may call you and ask you to transfer money to him, and his voice will be as similar as possible. Part of the article will be taken from the news.

Bloomberg article​

According to Bloomberg, the FTC chairman has warned that AI is being used to "speed up" fraud .This follows reports of scammers using AI voice cloning to trick parents into believing their children are in trouble.
But Lina Han added that some existing laws should already apply to AI, so regulators "should be vigilant in advance." According to the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Bloomberg reported that the rise of AI is being used to "turbo charge" fraud.
Lina Khan made the comments at an artificial intelligence and venture capital event in New York on Thursday evening. According to Bloomberg, she noted that scammers used AI voice cloning to pose as family members in distress before deceiving victims.

In April, local news station Arizona's Family reported that a fraudster tried to get a $ 1 million ransom after cloning the voice of a 15-year-old girl to pretend to kidnap her.
And The Washington Post previously reported that a Canadian couple was scammed out of $ 21,000 after hearing an AI-generated voice that sounded like their son.

Conclusion​

The development of the world and AI is progressing by leaps and bounds, and we always need to be on our guard, especially in the CIS countries, where fraud with calls from the bank and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a special kind of "art". And sms to parents with the words-mom is me, please send 5 000r urgently to this number, it was, is and will be. Scammers are becoming even more sophisticated, and AI is becoming much easier for users.

We hope that as many people as possible will see this article and will already keep in mind that voice tampering is possible and when they get a call, they will be ready. Send the article to your friends and family, or take the time to tell them in person, especially to your parents, who can't even imagine that this is already real.
