Voice cloning uses artificial intelligence to create a digital replica of someone's voice. While it has legitimate uses, it also presents opportunities for fraud and misinformation through social engineering.

What happened

In January 2024, a voice message allegedly from President Joe Biden urged voters not to participate in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary Election. The message was generated using AI. While the incident was quickly reported, it illustrated the potential for voice cloning to be used as a social manipulation tool with the potential to influence election results.
