Be careful: Sam Altman is also worried about AI voice fraud, one mistake and the bank account is empty..

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned the banking and financial sector that artificial intelligence (AI) tools have made it easier to pass security checks and transfer money by imitating human voices, which could lead to a "serious fraud crisis".

Altman said this at a Federal Reserve conference held in Washington on Tuesday. He said, "One thing that scares me is that some financial institutions are still accepting voiceprint as authentication. This is a crazy thing, because AI has completely defeated it."

Voiceprinting was adopted a decade ago as a secure means of identification for wealthy customers, in which the customer had to prove his identity by speaking a fixed sentence on the phone, but now according to Altman, the voice imitations created by AI and further video cloning have become so real that it has become difficult to distinguish them from the real ones.

He said, "Now we will need new ways to verify identity." Reacting to this, Federal Reserve Vice President and Chief Financial Supervisor Michelle Bauman said, "This is a topic that we can consider in partnership." This warning has come at a time when banks around the world are already cautious about digital security, but the rapidly increasing capabilities of AI technology have raised new concerns.
