Hi Jan,
Picture the phone ringing. It’s your son or daughter, upset, saying there’s been an accident and they need money sent right away. The voice is unmistakable.
Except it isn’t them.
With a few seconds of audio from a voicemail greeting or a video posted online, artificial intelligence (AI) tools can produce a convincing copy of someone’s voice. Scammers pair that voice with urgency and a request to keep things quiet, and the result is hard to question in the moment.
The voice is only one piece. The same tools can produce a photo, a video, or an email that appears to come from someone you know and trust. These scams are built to get past careful, smart people, not careless ones.
On Monday, October 19th, cybersecurity expert James McQuiggan will walk through how these AI-powered scams work, the warning signs to watch for, and practical steps you can take to protect yourself and your family.
