Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has issued a warning about the growing capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, specifically its ability to generate realistic voice recordings that could be used for malicious purposes. Zhao shared a video snippet on X (formerly Twitter) created using advanced AI, demonstrating how convincing the impersonation can become. He revealed that he was initially unable to tell the difference between this generated audio and his own. This comes amid a wave of AI-powered tools that offer voice cloning capabilities, including ElevenLabs and Resemble.ai. These advancements raise concerns about potential misuse for disinformation campaigns and identity theft scams. The emergence of such tools underscores the urgent need for safeguards against their harmful applications. Previous instances have shown how AI can be used to create convincing fake voices for malicious purposes, like a recent XRP scam that exploited the voice of Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, to defraud investors. While research and development continues on detecting and mitigating these risks, this latest warning from Binance CEO sheds light on the potential dangers of advanced AI technologies in the hands of individuals with malicious intent.
