The problem is it's nearly too late to "prepare" for it - the time for that was years ago
Instead, we've spent that time doing things that are only going to exacerbate the issues - like doubling down on voice as an ID
More importantly, trust in both public and private institutions and even between citizens has slowly eroded - understandably so, if you ask me, but still - which as another commenter has pointed out is going to be even more important going forward. I imagine rebuilding that trust is going to be even more painful with stuff like this.
(The only other alternative I can think of is along the lines of cryptographically-signed content from end-to-end, government ID to access the Internet, etc. This would be highly detrimental to a free society, so I hope we don't go this route)
- joshstrange 3y agoThe movie Sneakers sure would get a lot less interesting with voice cloning. And I’d miss out of one of my favorite/most funny scenes in the movie “I would really like to hear you say the word ‘Passport’” [0]. I cannot hear the word “Passport” without thinking of that scene and then I always have to say “My voice is my passport, verify me” in my head to complete the circle.
