AI Voice Cloning: The New Wild West of Impersonation Scams!
Four out of six companies offering AI voice cloning software lack meaningful safeguards against misuse, according to Consumer Reports. Some firms even suggest using their software for pranks, raising concerns about consumer protection. Meanwhile, state interest in regulating AI misuse grows as federal progress remains slow.
Hot Take:
Companies offering AI voice cloning software seem to be playing a dangerous game of “pin the blame on the consumer,” with their flimsy safeguards. It’s as if they’ve watched too many sci-fi movies and decided, “Hey, let’s make that a reality!” All they need now is a villainous laugh track to accompany their terms and conditions.
Key Points:
- Four out of six AI voice cloning companies lack meaningful misuse safeguards.
- Consumer Reports research highlights minimal account verification processes.
- AI voice cloning has both legit and sketchy uses, with the latter causing rising concern.
- State-level regulations might be more promising than federal intervention.
- The FTC has proposed bans on AI impersonation but progress is slow.
