Is it true that Scammers have used AI-generated voice clones to impersonate family members in emergency phone scams?
Yes. A January 2024 Senate Aging Committee hearing on AI and scams, including witness testimony that a scammer spoofed his son's voice with AI, supports the claim that scammers have used AI voice clones to impersonate family members in emergency-style phone scams. The two retrieved items are duplicate listings of the same hearing, so this rests on a single source.
