Creeps used AI

It was probably inevitable. Dazzling new technology gets developed to help people work and create, and then people of evil intention get ahold of it and do bad things.

An Arizona mom was away from home with her daughter when she received a horrifying phone call. She heard her other daughter's voice begging and crying for help. A man's voice then said that he had the 15-year-old in his possession and demanded a million dollars to return her.

Other moms with her called 911 and her husband, and figured out that the girl was at home in her room. It was a scam, a convincing and terrifying attempt to fake a kidnapping. The mom hung up after four frightening minutes.

Artificial intelligence created the voice of her daughter. According to an Arizona professor, the cloning can be done using only three seconds of the actual voice of the victim like you could find on social media. An FBI agent says, "You've got to keep that stuff [public profiles] locked down."
