Protecting Yourself from AI Voice Cloning Scams
In light of the increasing competition between artificial intelligence (AI) companies, concerns are being raised about the potential unintended consequences of the rapidly-evolving technology. Lindsey Mastis, a news reporter for 7News On Your Side, reached out to ID R&D for expert advice on how to protect oneself against AI voice cloning scams.
The Urgent Need for AI Regulation
Computer science Professor Cynthia Rudin of Duke University warns against waiting to see how far AI can go before taking action. According to her, tech companies are already controlling us and could become too entrenched to be regulated if we don’t act now. Congressman Ted Lieu of California agrees that Congress must catch up with the amazing benefits and potential hazards of AI and is currently introducing a bill to create a commission that will make recommendations on regulating AI.
AI Regulation may be Ineffective
University of California-Irvine law professor Dan Burk, on the other hand, argues that regulation will likely be outpaced by technology, minimizing its effectiveness.
Bipartisan Support for Safe and Secure AI
Despite the concerns of some, there is bipartisan support for the development of safe and secure AI that supplements human ability and is used for good. Republican Congressman Michael McCaul of Texas stresses the dangers of unchecked AI development and emphasizes the need for the U.S. to prioritize the development of safe and secure AI technology.
