Don't fall for AI scams cloning cops' voices, police warn
Briefly

The Salt Lake City Police Department warned citizens about an email scam that used AI to clone the voice of Police Chief Mike Brown, creating a convincing deception.
The FBI has long highlighted threats posed by scammers impersonating officials, and with AI voice-cloning tech advancing, detection of such scams may become significantly more challenging.
While the AI-generated audio may sound convincing, tech-savvy individuals can detect clues in the speech patterns, emphasis, and the email's suspicious domain, indicating fraud.
Police departments, like those in Salt Lake City and Tulsa, are facing increasing challenges with AI-generated impersonations, posing risks to public trust and safety.
