AI Can Clone Your Kids' Voice — Retd. Brigadier General Terri Borras on the New Family Scam

🚨 AI can now clone a voice from just a few seconds of audio — which means "I recognized their voice" isn't proof of anything anymore. I'm Jocelyn King, and this week on the Smarter Online Safety Show I sit down with retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Terri Borras — 40 years in military intelligence, former Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence at the Pentagon, and now one of the sharpest voices working in cognitive security and deepfake detection. What she told me changed how I think about every "safe" system I use. We get into: ✔️ Why the real danger isn't inside your security systems — it's in the "seams" between them, and attackers already know exactly where those gaps are ✔️ How AI voice cloning and deepfakes are already being used to impersonate your family, your bank, and your boss ✔️ Why scam calls are built to rush you — and the one habit that shuts down almost every one of them ✔️ What you're secretly authorizing every time you let an AI agent act on your behalf (hint: "I told it not to" won't protect you) ✔️ The 72-hour window that decides whether a departing employee can quietly wipe out a small business ✔️ Why "I'm not important enough to be targeted" is the most dangerous sentence you can tell yourself ✔️ What cognitive security — I call it neurosecurity — really means, and why your own brain is now the #1 attack surface Her rule for all of it, in three words: Pause. Verify. Act. 👤 CONNECT WITH RETD.
