Analogy/Comparison

Using AI to scam people is like a trickster wearing a perfect mask and mimicking a friend’s voice perfectly to get you to give them something valuable.

Why It Matters

Scammers are using AI to create convincing fake voices and videos that can sound exactly like a loved one, making it easy to trick people into giving away money. For example, a grandmother was scammed out of $10,000 after receiving a call from an AI-generated voice that sounded like her grandson in distress.
