Why as a technologist, I’m publicly against Amazon’s voice cloning technology:
Amazon as a technology mogul should do a way better job in analyzing the potential risk of abuse of its voice cloning technology. By making voice deepfakes more accessible to a very large portion of the population, it will be extremely easy for any fraudster to create a deepfake of your voice.
Why is this so important?
Because our CIOs and CISOs are not prepared for deepfake attacks. They are already bombarded with all sorts of cyber threats, and this creates a new dimension of attacks, which at the end of the day, the consumers would be affected; you and me.
If Amazon is popularizing a technology that can be weaponized by those trying to impersonate regular consumers and doesn’t do a proper job of preventing cybercrime, it can make millions of us vulnerable to account takeover fraud and identity theft.
