This week’s futures Friday is about AI Voice Cloning and being able to get ahead of it. Remember the Hi Mum scam? That was a text message. It’s had an upgrade.

AI can now clone your child’s voice from three seconds of audio. And your body will respond to that voice before your brain has a chance to catch up.

Here’s how it works — and the one thing every family needs to do tonight. Give grandparents the Codeword too!!

Comment SNOOP and I’ll send you a free AI prompt so you can check what an app is collecting, using, storing or selling of your data. 🔐

Check to Protect (I love a lame catch phrase)! If you are worried about your voice being cloned or information being collected and sold without your consent, OR you never read the terms and conditions of an app before downloading…this is for you!

As a former national security analyst and strategist, I spent time educating people in industry and government about their digital footprint and how to protect what’s important.

Convenience, need for efficiency, speed and honestly FOMO has led all of us to download and use apps without checking how they collect, use, store or sell our information.

Individually those pieces might not be significant but when put together, they give away your whole digital footprint. Used against you and the people you love in phone scams, email phishing and reputational nightmares.

2-3 minutes is all this AI prompt takes to give you a summary of the app and what’s risks you need to know.

Full transparency, I ask for your email to add you to my mailing list so I can give you more security and safety information and tools to build your digital literacy and resilience.
