U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan is intensifying scrutiny on AI voice-cloning companies to combat fraud. In letters dated April 16, 2026, she requested information from ElevenLabs, LOVO, Speechify, and VEED regarding their measures to prevent misuse of their technologies by scammers. The FBI reported that victims lost $893 million to AI-related scams in 2025, highlighting the growing threat. Scammers are increasingly using AI-generated voices to impersonate individuals, including public figures and loved ones, in sophisticated scams. Consumer Reports found that many AI voice-cloning products lack effective safeguards against fraud. Hassan emphasized the need for collaboration between the public and private sectors to address these challenges. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center reported over 1 million complaints in 2025, with a significant rise in losses among older Americans. The urgency of Hassan's inquiry reflects a broader concern about the rapid evolution of AI tools in the scam industry.
