When Charley Kneifel heard that a colleague had been training an AI to narrate video in his own voice, it gave him pause. He could easily see the benefits his colleague was after. “It’s really useful if you’re doing voiceovers from scripts,” he said.
But this “cool” potential also raised alarms. Because while this use of AI was “good,” it could also be flipped around. A cybercriminal could use the same approach to trick voice recognition systems or create a targeted phishing attack. “It’s a really cool thing that bleeds over into something else.”
