FBI cautions St. Louis residents of kidnapping scams that use AI voice mimicry to fool victims. St. Louis residents are reportedly being warned by the FBI that AI voice mimicry technology is being used by criminals to fool victims into thinking they're hearing a relative's voice during a phone call.
Scammers have turned to AI to make a mother believe her daughter was kidnapped. Scammers have taken phone scams to a new level by using artificial intelligence to clone a girl's voice, leading to a demand for a $1 million ransom from her mother, according to a report from the New York Post.
