Easy Deepfake Voice Cloning technology is an emerging risk to organizations (www.grc.com)

It is interesting how easy this has got with a popular service like Prime Voice AI, and when you realise that many use voice recognition for authenticated access to systems, we can see where the risks come in. Like most technology, there are lots of positive upsides, but it always opens up the negatives as well. As Steve points out in his commentary in the linked article, the bad actors are often quicker than anyone else nowadays to take advantage of these new developments.

No end in sight for the upward trajectory of careers in security and vulnerability consultants.

Its a pretty dark and grim future. Until then, here's an AI trained on Ariana Grande's voice singing in Vietnamese.

And apparently Paul McCartney used AI now to recreate John Lennon's voice in a recent Beatles song...
