White House Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed said “voice cloning” technology with the help of artificial intelligence is one of the main problems for regulators. According to him, society has not yet realized how much a perfect imitation of the human voice can affect our lives. Reed believes people will stop trusting calls if they aren’t sure the voice is real.

Scammers are already using technology for more convincing scams. Cases of scammers calling victims on behalf of loved ones in trouble have increased in the United States, according to the FTC.

Analysts from cybersecurity company McAfee claim that a 3-4 second sample is enough to create a convincing fake voice. At the same time, New York City mayor Eric Adams is using artificial intelligence to call residents in languages ​​they don’t speak. According to him, it makes it possible to reach more people.

However, experts believe that this is quite misleading and requires clear rules for the use of such technologies.

There are also voice cloning platforms that allow you to create a fake voice in just a few clicks. Among them is ElevenLabs, which faced several fraud cases soon after it came out of beta. Source
