There have been other dangerous AI-related incidents related to privacy, fraud and information manipulation. These cases have shown that AI is not a technology that can be retrospectively regulated by law. The approval of this draft by the EU Parliament creates a solid basis for the future…

B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

Audio deepfakes, i.e. voices imitated with computer systems, are constantly evolving. This results in an increase in AI-supported fraud attempts. The so-called "grandchild trick", in which the perpetrator usually pretends to be the victim's child or grandchild and pretends a crisis situation in order to obtain financial support, is already well known. Now, however, artificial intelligence is used that specializes in imitating voices. These AIs sometimes only need 30 minutes of audio material and can use it to create a complete voice profile with which this person can be impersonated.
