OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has issued a warning about an impending fraud crisis driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly AI voice cloning technology that is now capable of bypassing bank security systems. Speaking at an event hosted by the Federal Reserve, Altman highlighted the risk of bad actors using AI to impersonate individuals and gain unauthorized access to consumer accounts, potentially putting billions of dollars at risk. He urged financial institutions to urgently reconsider their reliance on voice authentication methods, which he described as vulnerable to exploitation by hackers. Altman also discussed broader implications of AI on the workforce, predicting that entire job categories, such as customer support, may disappear due to AI automation. Despite AI's growing capabilities, including ChatGPT's diagnostic abilities, Altman expressed personal caution, stating he would not trust AI alone with his own medical decisions. Additionally, he raised concerns about emotional overreliance on AI, especially among younger generations who increasingly depend on AI tools like ChatGPT for decision-making. Altman noted that banks such as Morgan Stanley and Bank of New York were early adopters of AI technology, recognizing the risk of not implementing AI as existential. Meanwhile, a study in Latin America revealed that although most banks consider AI important, few have fully implemented it.
