Sam Altman warns of an impending fraud crisis facilitated by AI's ability to mimic voices and appearances. He highlights concerns about banking institutions still using voice prints for authentication, arguing that AI has already compromised most traditional authentication methods. Notable instances of scams involving voice imitation underscore the severity of the issue. The FBI has also raised alarms about cybercriminals employing AI for sophisticated scams. Recent examples include impersonations affecting government officials and attempts to gain sensitive information, indicating a growing threat in this domain.
"I am very nervous about this. A thing that terrifies me is apparently there are still some financial institutions that will accept a voice print as authentication for you to move a lot of money or do something else."
"AI has fully defeated most of the ways that people authenticate currently, other than passwords. Right now, it's a voice call; soon it's going to be a video or FaceTime that's indistinguishable from reality."
