The Transatlantic Cable Podcast #348

Author: Kaspersky May 22, 2024 Duration: 29:21

We kick off with news that Google plan to introduce a new AI tool to help detect if you're being scammed in a phone call – a boon for those who fall prey to scams.  From there the team discuss news that Scarlett Johansson isn't best pleased about the likeness of ChatGPT's new voice, which sounds eerily familiar to her own.

To wrap up the team discuss two stories, firstly around how an 'AI porn-maker' (yes people, that's now a job) accidentally leaked his own customer data. The second story centres around BT's decision to move away from copper-cable landlines in the UK to an all-digital future – and it's got several people annoyed.
