Hi. This is Bill Sikkens host of User

Friendly 2.0 here on The Answer with this

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,041

week's Tech Wednesday. As AI moves

3

00:00:07,041 --> 00:00:10,375

forward and increasingly becomes more

and more capable.

4

00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,208

We're seeing a really large increase,

to put it

5

00:00:14,208 --> 00:00:17,208

mildly, in AI voice scams.

6

00:00:17,291 --> 00:00:18,750

And this is getting really scary.

7

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

This has been something

that's been around for a while,

8

00:00:20,666 --> 00:00:23,958

in the sense that you can recreate

somebody else's voice,

9

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

potentially creating things like deepfakes

and whatnot.

10

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

And this has been an issue

that has already been a problem,

11

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

but now it's being taken

to the next level,

12

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

where your voice can be used

to authenticate things over

13

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

things like recognition

on a phone for a credit card

14

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

or financial accounts or medical records

or whatever those things are

15

00:00:42,625 --> 00:00:46,708

that to this day

require authentication to keep it secure.

16

00:00:47,125 --> 00:00:48,625

This week on User Friendly 2.0

17

00:00:48,625 --> 00:00:51,875

we're going to deep dive into this

talk about what you can do to secure

18

00:00:51,916 --> 00:00:56,458

your assets and what we see in the future

to help stop this happening.

19

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