A UK bank, Starling Bank, has issued a warning about a new wave of scams that use artificial intelligence to replicate people's voices. Fraudsters can create convincing voice clones from just a few seconds of audio, often found in online videos, the bank said in a press release.
The online-only lender said that these scams are highly effective, with millions of people potentially at risk. The bank's survey found that over a quarter of respondents had been targeted by such scams in the past year, and many were unaware of the threat, CNN reported.
"People regularly post content online which has recordings of their voice, without ever imagining it's making them more vulnerable to fraudsters," Lisa Grahame, chief information security officer at Starling Bank, said in the press release.
