host of User Friendly 2.0 here on

The Answer with this week's Tech Wednesday

3

00:00:05,541 --> 00:00:10,458

is AI moves forward and increasingly

becomes more and more capable.

4

00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:15,000

We're seeing a really large increase,

to put it mildly,

5

00:00:15,333 --> 00:00:18,750

in AI voice scams,

and this is getting really scary.

6

00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:20,666

This has been something

that's been around for a while,

7

00:00:20,666 --> 00:00:24,000

in the sense that you can recreate

somebody else's voice,

8

00:00:24,416 --> 00:00:27,125

potentially creating things like deepfakes

and whatnot.

9

00:00:27,125 --> 00:00:29,750

And this has been an issue

that has already been a problem,

10

00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:32,208

but now it's being taken

to the next level,

11

00:00:32,208 --> 00:00:34,916

where your voice can be used

to authenticate things over

12

00:00:34,916 --> 00:00:37,916

things like recognition

on a phone for a credit card

13

00:00:38,208 --> 00:00:42,333

or financial accounts or medical records

or whatever those things are

14

00:00:42,666 --> 00:00:46,708

that to this day

require authentication to keep it secure.

15

00:00:47,166 --> 00:00:49,708

This week on user Friendly 2.0,

we're going to deep dive into this

16

00:00:49,708 --> 00:00:53,000

talk about what you can do

to secure your assets

17

00:00:53,416 --> 00:00:56,458

and what we see in the future to help

stop this happening.

18

00:00:56,875 --> 00:01:00,291
