Sam Altman warned of the major crisis of fraud with artificial intelligence

In a speech to the US Federal Reserve, Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, warned that artificial intelligence would create a “big fraud crisis”. He predicted that artificial intelligence would soon give anyone the power to fabricate the sound and image of others in a completely realistic way; A threat that, he says, could shake the foundations of financial security and social trust.

In a conversation with the Vice President of the Federal Reserve, Sam Altman expressed his deep concern about the future of security in the age of artificial intelligence. “Artificial intelligence has completely defeated most of the current authentication methods, except for passwords,” he said.

He specifically pointed to the vulnerability of banking systems: “What is frightened is that there are still financial institutions that accept an audio work as a degree in authentication for transferring huge sums.” Altman warned that the threat is rapidly advancing: “Currently only voice calls; “But soon the video or Facebook call will not be recognizable.”

Altman’s poison warning about artificial intelligence scam

These concerns are not just predictions. Evidence suggests that this crisis has already begun; Previously, there have been numerous reports of fraudsters who, by simulating voices, have asked their families ransom or deceived employees to transfer the company’s funds.

Last year, FBI warned of the increasing threat of cybercriminals who use artificial intelligence to carry out phishing attacks and sound and video simulation frauds. In a strange example, a person used artificial intelligence instead of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and contacted several senior officials.

The controversial point in this alert is the role of Openai itself. In this conversation, Altman tried to acquit his company from the crisis, claiming that “Openai does not work on identity forging tools.” Critics, however, say the advanced model of OpenAI video production, Sora, has the potential to be used precisely to make fake videos and dipfalls that Altman warns.
