Influencer who used AI to dupe internet into thinking she caught her boyfriend cheating reveals she was inspired to do the skit because of real artificial voice scams. An influencer who made up a prank video claiming she used AI to catch her boyfriend cheating told Fox News her skit was a farce, but the voice-cloning technology she used to power the trick was not, and the skit was inspired by real scams. Mia Dio, a social media influencer with over 5 million TikTok followers, filmed a video of her using artificial intelligence to clone her boyfriend Billy's voice to see if he had cheated on her. The inspiration for the viral video came from reports of AI voice-cloning scams, she told Fox News. Dio used voicemails left by her boyfriend Billy to recreate his voice using AI software.

AI technology is fuelling an explosion in voice cloning scams, experts have warned. Fraudsters can now mimic a victim's voice using just a three second snippet of audio, often stolen from social media profiles. It is then used to phone a friend or family member convincing them they are in trouble and urgently need money. One in four Britons say they or someone they know has been targeted by the scam, according to cybersecurity specialists McAfee. It is so believable the majority of those affected admitted they have lost money as a result, with the cost for around a third of victims over £1,000.
