Last month, an imposter created a Signal account pretending to be US Secretary of State Marco Rubio using the display name “[email protected].” The perpetrator then used AI to simulate Rubio’s voice and contacted three foreign ministers, a US governor, and a member of Congress. Global cybercrime is projected to cost upwards of $10.5 trillion this year, and that number is only going to rise as technology improves. But while we are increasingly aware of the risks AI poses for crime, large parts of our society seem willing—and even excited—to welcome its use in ways that could pose an even greater risk.
