A British energy executive has lured more than £ 200,000 to online fraudsters who used artificial intelligence to falsify his boss's voice.
The newspaper "Daily Mail" British that this is a case of its kind, the so-called technology "deep counterfeiting" through computer programs, to defraud the energy company worth billions of pounds.

Through technical capabilities and programs, the crooks were able to emulate the voice and speech of the German manager in such a convincing manner that the executive had no reason to doubt the conversion process that had been requested.
Security experts warned that the case showed that fraudsters had reached the potential to give them the highest degree of counterfeiting, so there was no end or end to the ways in which people could be defrauded using these techniques.
According to security experts, sophisticated counterfeiting programs that mimic sounds or manipulate videos have evolved in recent years amid the tremendous advances in AI technology.
