4 Signs of AI-based Voice Cloning to Avoid Scammers

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Voice cloning is no longer a rarity during this era of rapid technological advancement. Using artificial intelligence or AI, voice cloning is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and with it, comes danger.

Advanced voice cloning facilitates scammers in conducting their crimes, imitating their potential victim's loved ones' voices to ask for personal information or money.

4 Signs of Voice Cloning

1. Unexpected calls

If you receive a call from a loved one or colleague, especially if it's out of the blue or at an odd hour, be cautious. Scammers often target people when they're most vulnerable or unsuspecting.

2. Urgent requests

Scammers will often create a sense of urgency to pressure you into making a quick decision. They might say that your loved one is in trouble and needs money immediately, or that your bank account has been compromised and you need to take action right away.

3. Unnatural speech patterns

While AI voice cloning technology has come a long way, it's not without flaws. Listen carefully for any unnatural pauses, robotic-sounding speech, or strange pronunciation. These can be indicators that you're not talking to a real person.

4. Request for money or personal information

Never give out money or personal information such as bank account numbers over the phone to someone you don't know and trust. Any legitimate business or company will never ask for this type of information over the phone.
