This type of tech-enabled phone scam was the subject of a hearing before the Senate Aging Committee last Thursday.
The maker of one such tool, Lovo, says it uses an algorithm to break voice recordings into tiny chunks of audio. Those chunks are used to create a model that can turn user-inputted text into a new audio clip using a voice that Lovo says will sound nearly identical to the original speaker's.
Now that the tech is accessible and improving, the potential for malfeasance has caught the attention of the federal government.
