Please tell each other: scammers can use AI to imitate voice fraud, the effect is realistic

Recently, CCTV reported a news involving telecom fraud. According to reports, there have been cases of telecom fraud using AI-synthesized voices across the United States and Canada, and many victims are elderly. This incident has aroused extensive industry and public attention.

The report pointed out that these scam calls often use false identity information and use various excuses to deceive victims, such as asking them to provide personal information or transfer money. Also, the voice quality of these calls is so high that it can be difficult to tell the authenticity from the fake. This method of telecommunications fraud can also automatically adjust the speech rate, voice and intonation to simulate a real-life conversation and increase the success rate of fraud.

The harm of this kind of telecom fraud cannot be underestimated. According to reports, in 2018 alone, telecom fraud cases in the United States caused nearly $5 billion in economic losses. Moreover, this kind of fraud is not limited to the United States and Canada, it has begun to spread to other countries.

This is not the first time that such AI-synthesized voices have been used for telecom fraud. Prior to this, a similar situation occurred in China, and many victims suffered losses as a result. These cases all show that the application of artificial intelligence can not only bring convenience to human beings, but also be used by criminals to carry out various criminal activities.

Countermeasures against this form of telecom fraud are also being strengthened. For example, the government departments of the United States and Canada have begun to jointly crack down on this kind of telecom fraud, and at the same time, they are also strengthening public security awareness education. In addition, some technology companies are also developing technologies that can identify and intercept such fake calls to protect the safety of public property.

In general, this criminal activity of telecom fraud using AI-synthesized voice has become a global problem. Effectively curbing this criminal activity will require a concerted effort by governments, tech companies, and the public. The government should strengthen supervision and crackdowns, technology companies should strengthen technology research and development, and the public should also increase their safety awareness and not easily trust unfamiliar calls or messages. Only in this way can the public's property safety and personal information safety be effectively protected. #Headline Creation Challenge #
