I remember back in early 2024, I read this article about some employee who was scammed into sending millions of dollars to thieves who used AI to [impersonate the CFO on a video call.] It seemed like we were about to e deluged fake phone calls from family members in emergencies and with deepfakes of politicians doing incriminating things or saying things they never said.
But it doesn't seem like this is happening.
I'm sure there are lots of scams I never hear about, but given the incredible advances in AI voice and video generation and the ubiquity of the tools, I'm very surprised that it doesn't seem to be much of a problem at all. Maybe it just needs more time.
I wonder what other AI doom scenarios will not come to fruition.
