  • Artificial intelligence (AI) is making scams more convincing and harder to detect, according to cybersecurity experts.
  • Andres Torres, owner of ZeroDay Cybersecurity, demonstrated how AI can mimic a person’s voice with short audio samples to recreate speech patterns, tone, and mannerisms.
  • AI-generated fraudulent phone calls can sound remarkably authentic, posing a serious threat to personal and financial security.
  • Torres advises individuals to not rely solely on phone calls for urgent or emotional requests involving money or sensitive information.
  • He recommends verifying such requests through a second communication method, such as a direct text message or separate phone call.
