ABC13 is looking into "deepfake AI" and how it can manipulate your voice to create something convincing enough to fool your own family.
Mitchem Boles, a cybersecurity expert, says artificial intelligence is not only here to stay but is also getting more advanced. Boles explained that there are a number of websites and apps that allow you to insert voice samples before they synthesize and create a text or a voice message. He showed us this by using software he easily downloaded.
"Now, there is some differentiation between each version as you type and generate again. But it's so legitimately sounding, especially on the phone. And so, hopefully, that sounds like my voice. I think it does a little bit," Boles said.
