(Washington, D.C.) -- Senators Amy Klobuchar and Susan Collins are calling on the FTC and FCC to continue to raise awareness about artificial intelligence voice-cloning scams. The senators spoke of a Minnesota father who received a call from someone who sounded exactly like his son -- a Marine deployed abroad who hadn’t made contact in weeks -- crying for his parents. It was found to be an impersonation of their son's voice generated by A-I technology. Klobuchar says, “These scams are putting too many parents and grandparents through this emotional toll, and as technology improves, voice clones will only become more convincing.”
