[Warning]: AI voice replicating scams

[Kemarit]

Question: Where do people think the criminals are getting the initial voice sound/wavelengths from in order to be able to replicate it with AI?

My hunch: Big Tech/Social media.

However this is no more than a hunch.

The data from the scamming call centers can now start selling those audios and personal data.

As far as I know, only the phone numbers are the data that can be maximized by the scammers from call centers, not sure they recorded voices. But in any case, this is the first time that an AI replicating scams has been reported or being in front of the news right now. Usually it just the face of someone being used and then inserted people's voice.

But this is the other way around, it's the real face that the victims recognized and know, and then that voices that they copy. So in a sense when you hear it, your first impulse is to help right away.

So scammers thru AI has found a way to clone and mimic our love ones voice. And then we received this calls, they they are any form in a emergencies and need money or even bitcoin at some point. And so you panic and send them the money right away without hesitation. And after that initial shock, you realized that you have been scammed already.

It is really scary, and artificial intelligence is a double-edged technology that can be used for good and for the benefit of humanity and can be used by a criminal group in acts of evil and scams, cloning of voices, mimicking faces or handwriting and conversations by means of AI that can be believed by a large group of people who do not know such modern technology, they can be deceived quite simply, but the scammer, before using AI voice, collects somewhat large information & data about the targeted victim, the people close to the victim, sensitive information, their phone numbers, names, accounts and so on, which ensures that his method of scam will not be exposed and can be believed without the slightest doubt, so if the person is anonymous on the Internet and maintains his privacy, there is no doubt that this scam can be detected in minutes.
