    This happened to my mother-in-law five years ago. She swore it was her daughter’s voice telling her she needed money. People at the bank got her to call her daugther. I don’t think you need AI for this.

      You don’t, really, although “crime spree traced to out-of-work voice actor!” sounds like a plot from a Saturday morning cartoon several decades ago.

      But was it the daughter? That’s a pretty good scam, “mom, that wasn’t me!!” Cha-Ching

    Td uses voice print verification for phone banking.

    You can clone someone’s voice with about 10 seconds of clear audio.

    Canadian banks don’t understand technology. At all.

    Or rather, they do, enough to protect a business’ assets. All consumers are on the “go fuck yourself, lol” security plan.
