What Next TBD: When A.I. Steals Your Voice
Manage episode 358339628 series 2355377
Using just what you’ve posted to social media, generative A.I. can create a “puppet version” of your voice—one that’s close enough to scam your family into paying thousands in, say, bail money. And imitating public officials to create “deep fakes” who say whatever they’re told is even easier.
Guest: Pranshu Verma, tech reporter for the Washington Post.
Host: Lizzie O’Leary
