Companies are being warned about the increasing use of artificial intelligence to carry out so-called CEO fraud.
More victims are coming forward with their stories of being targeted using generative AI techniques and one case in Hong Kong reportedly saw an AI clone used during a video meeting to trick staff into losing $25m. But while some fear the rise of AI clones, companies including Zoom say we should be excited about a future where your clone can go to a meeting on your behalf. Cyber correspondent Joe Tidy has had an AI clone of himself built by engineers at Fraia AI – watch to see if he can fool his colleagues with it.
