The big idea
With just a few seconds of audio, AI can copy how a person talks. Bad guys sometimes use this to trick people into thinking a family member is calling.
Some examples
- A scammer might fake your grandma's voice asking for money.
- Someone could fake a teacher's voice to trick the class.
- AI voices in commercials might sound like real famous people.
- If a 'family member' calls in trouble, ask a question only they would know.
Try it!
Pick a secret 'safe word' with your family. If anyone ever calls in an emergency, they should say the word!
