AI scam calls: study finds 1 in 6 U.S. adults may fall for them
A study found that about 1 in 6 U.S. adults could comply with voice phishing calls made with AI-generated voices. Researchers from Harvard University, Meta and others ran experiments with 4,100 U.S. adults, comparing six AI voice models with real human voices across five scam scenarios. Emotional, relationship-based stories proved more persuasive than call-centre impersonation. The study also warned that AI could lower costs and enable automated mass scam calls.

China clarifies liability for AI deepfakes and face, voice cloning
China\'s Supreme People\'s Court has set standards for judging civil liability arising from AI deepfakes, voice cloning and AI hallucinations.
