There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I’m watching with interest.
Apparently Amelia Tyler - the Narrator for BG3 - checked in on some random twitch stream, and they had an AI voice trained from her narration controlled by twitch chat - which was saying some fucking horrendous stuff.
Scary as fuck.
Remember to talk to everyone you know about voice scams. Scammers absolutely are leveraging this tech, and piling it on top of the usual “I’ve flushed my phone down the toilet, I’m texting from a mates phone and I need money to buy a new one for my job interview tomorrow” kinda scams.
Agree on a password or something, so that if “you” ever call (edit: or text) and put them under pressure then they ask for the password. Scammers will instantly divert or bail.

Aw man, Amelia Tyler is so amazing too. Her narration is amazing, and she’s got a lot of funny TikTok videos
