Ask HN: Strategies against AI voice and video scams?

1 pointsby asar7 months ago
With the advancements in generative AI, especially for voice and video, I&#x27;ve been wondering for a while how to effectively protect against scams. For now I feel like I can personally still tell that a video or audio is generated&#x2F;fake, but I&#x27;m getting increasingly worried that as these things develop it will become impossible to identify fakes.<p>What I&#x27;m currently thinking is to establish a code word in my family to at least protect against the scenario where a caller claims to be me (it&#x27;s so easy to train a voice on recordings nowadays). I was wondering if the HN Community can think of other ways to protect against this threat?<p>Looking at the recent realtime voice release of Open AI and combining it with Diffusion Models, the opportunities for scammers are becoming endless and I&#x27;m deeply worried that there are no real protections at this point.

Something you have: show me your phone, your purse, your ID.<p>Something you know: tell me the dramatic thing that happened to you at school back in …<p>Something about you: shirt size&#x2F;waist size, coffee&#x2F;tea&#x2F;soda, dislikes etc.

explore liars paradox and figure out questions that only the family member could know
