Experts say artificial intelligence only needs three seconds of your voice to clone it, which can then be used by scammers to pretend you've been kidnapped or hurt.
Jennifer DeStefano said she got a call from an unfamiliar phone number and almost let it go to voicemail. However, her 15-year-old daughter was out of town skiing, so she picked up the phone, fearing maybe there had been an accident.
DeStefano kept him talking. During the phone call, she happened to be at her other daughter’s dance studio, surrounded by worried moms who wanted to help. One called 911, and another called DeStefano’s husband.“She was upstairs in her room going, ‘What? What’s going on?’” DeStefano said. “Then I get angry, obviously, with these guys. This is not something you play around with.”
Subbarao Kambhampati, a computer science professor at Arizona State University specializing in AI, said voice cloning technology is rapidly improving.Previously, cloning a voice would take a large number of samples from the person who was being cloned. Nowadays, Kambhampati said a voice can be cloned with just three seconds of your voice.
Dan Mayo, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Phoenix office, said scammers who use voice cloning technology often find their prey on social media. Mayo said red flags to look for include the phone number coming from an area code that you’re not familiar with, the phone number being an international number, and the person on the phone not allowing you to talk to other family members for help.
