Voice cloning on the rise: Understanding what it is, how it works and what it can be used for

Arizona mother Jennifer DeStefano joins'America's Newsroom' to share her experience after being targeted by scammers who used artificial intelligence to clone her daughter's voice in an extortion plot. Voice cloning through artificial intelligence is quickly becoming more advanced, more accessible and more widely used. While using artificial intelligence to clone voices can be beneficial in making certain work more efficient and assisting those who have lost their ability to speak, there are also many problems that have, so far, been hard to solve. Anyone who has a phone, computer or similar technological device has access to voice cloning through a long list of available software. Even though some are more advanced and efficient than others, voice cloning as a whole is an extremely easy thing to do.
