IBM researchers have discovered a relatively simple method for hijacking voice calls using generative AI tools. This finding raises concerns for organizations that rely on phone verification for identity, such as financial institutions. It poses a challenge for chatbots, as low-cost AI tools enable scammers to easily impersonate others’ voices, stealing funds and other sensitive information. Audio hijacking is a new threat, where malicious actors can manipulate large language models using voice cloning during ongoing conversations.
