What's Trending: Can you really tell if it’s your boss… or an AI deepfake?

 

Think you can recognize your boss’s voice? Think again. AI voice cloning can now replicate someone’s voice using just seconds of audio, making it increasingly difficult to tell a real instruction from a convincing fake.

Plus, the team puts their ears to the test with a quiz: can they tell the difference between a real voice and an AI-generated deepfake?
