Is AI voice technology risky?

AI speech technology refers to the generation of realistic speech content by analyzing and imitating human voice characteristics and using artificial intelligence algorithm. This technology is widely used in entertainment, education, medical care and other fields, but it also brings some safety and ethical risks. Recently, there have been many cases of telecom fraud using AI voice technology in the United States and Canada. Liars demand money from the elderly by synthesizing the voices of their relatives, causing serious economic losses and psychological harm.

So, how can we improve our awareness of prevention and avoid being deceived by this new type of fraud? Here are some suggestions:

1. Be vigilant. When receiving a strange phone call or text message, don't trust the identity and rhetoric of the other party, but verify the real information of the other party, such as asking for some details that only relatives know, or contacting relatives to confirm the situation by other means. If the other party requests remittance, transfer or personal information, it should be handled with caution and not easily agreed.

2. Protect personal privacy. Don't reveal too much personal information about yourself and your relatives and friends on social media, such as name, phone number, address, birthday, etc. To avoid being used by criminals. At the same time, we should also pay attention to protect our own voice data, and don't upload or authorize it to third-party applications or platforms at will.

3. Learn relevant knowledge. Understand the principle and characteristics of AI voice technology, and how to distinguish between true and false voice. Generally speaking, although AI voice technology can imitate human voice characteristics, there are still some defects and flaws, such as tone, rhythm, emotion, etc., which may be unnatural or inconsistent, or some noises and cracks may appear. Through careful listening and analysis, we can find some defects and anomalies.

4. Call the police in time. If you find that you or people around you have encountered AI voice fraud, you should call the police in time and keep relevant evidence so that the police can investigate and hold them accountable. At the same time, we should also publicize and remind friends and relatives around us to enhance their awareness and ability of prevention.

AI voice technology is a double-edged sword, which can not only bring convenience and fun to human beings, but also be used by criminals for fraud and fraud. We should face up to the risks and challenges brought by this technology and protect the property safety of ourselves and our relatives and friends by improving our awareness and ability of prevention.
