voice clone
Audio identity theft
A voice clone is a synthetic replica of a person's voice, created using artificial intelligence trained on recordings of that person speaking.
The technology can generate new speech that sounds like the original speaker saying words they never actually said: Scammers used a voice clone of the CEO to authorize a fraudulent transfer.
Voice cloning has legitimate uses in entertainment and accessibility but raises concerns about fraud, impersonation, and consent.
