Tech News: Voice cloning technology based on artificial intelligence has now become so fast and sophisticated that a recording of just 10 seconds can prevent the imitation of any human voice. Cyber ​​criminals are using this technique as a new weapon today. They get money, information or emotional cooperation from false excuses by imitating the voice of your family, friends or colleagues. Think, if someone makes a cry in your mother’s voice and says that they are in trouble – will you think again or help directly? Or if you send a meeting link in the fake voice of your boss and ask for a login, will you recognize that it is fake?

The woman got a call, the voice on the call was that of her son, who was crying for help. The woman got nervous and without delay, she immediately transferred the money to that number. But after some time when the real son was contacted, the truth came out – the son was absolutely fine and he did not call. Actually, he was an AI-generated fake call, in which his voice was copied exactly. This case is not the first, but many such cases have been reported across the country, where voice cloning technology is being emotional blackmail and people are being cheated.

WhatsApp and social media stole recording

Cyber ​​criminals now steal your voice from WhatsApp calls, stories or YouTube videos. AI models process these recording and prepare fake voice. These voices look so real that it becomes difficult to differentiate between real and fake. Just a few seconds of recording can now make your identity a weapon. This technology is now putting every common user in danger of cybercrime.

Voices made from AI target your feelings

The thugs know which thing to speak in which tone and when to make emotions weapons. Fake sounds make emotional appeal – like crying mother, nervous friend or anger boss. Their aim is to not give time to think and forced you to take action immediately. These cyber attacks directly target hearts and relationships. Emotional blackmail is now being done through voice cloning.

Is the government ready to deal with this threat?

So far there is no tough law nor clear strategy to stop such fake calls. The cyber cell has a huge shortage of technical tools and training. Investigation agencies are finding themselves helpless in front of this new technology. Experts have repeatedly said that strict regulations are needed on voice cloning. Also, public awareness campaign will also have to be run for the common people.

How can you save yourself?

If there is a call in anyone’s voice – even your loved ones – then immediately disconnect the call and talk to that person again. Avoid sharing any personal conversation recording or audio clip on social media. Follow measures like two-factor authentication, secure apps and caller verification. Do not accept everything without checking, even if it is a reliable voice. Being vigilant is the greatest rescue.
