Here's another deep fake technique, used for white collar crime, again. This time, it was Ozy faking the voice of a YouTube executive, while on the phone to Goldman Sachs, who was ready to invest $40 million in Ozy (Ozy is in the middle of an implosion right now, over this and other issues). They didn't get away with it, which makes me think they probably used some vanilla DAW or maybe a simple VST plugin, rather than serious machine learning. Or maybe the Ozy guy did use machine learning, and the Goldman guy was just doing his due diligence, emailing the person he thought he spoke to, to get a written record of what happened on the conversation, and the YouTube exec had no idea what was going on when they received that email.
Side note: It's always a good idea to confirm verbal decisions in writing, with email, or something similar.

I think deep fake porn was the tip of the iceberg. Most crimes committed with deep fake technology are going to be white collar crimes, for a while, at least. It's harder to get away with mass-broadcasting a deep fake than it is to convince a few C-suite rubes to send stupid amounts of money to your account over the phone or webcam.

Ozy's Carlos Watson resigns from NPR corporate board after week of scandal
Ozy co-founder Carlos Watson resigned from NPR's board of directors days after The New York Times revealed that an Ozy principal had impersonated a YouTube executive in a meeting with Goldman Sachs.
