AI robocalls: Why caller ID is still lying to you
AI-enhanced robocalls remain a significant threat due to inconsistent implementation of caller ID authentication standards. While major telecom carriers have achieved high compliance with STIR/SHAKEN protocols, smaller providers lag, allowing scammers to exploit vulnerabilities. AI voice cloning and spoofed calls, combined with data breaches, enable highly convincing fraud.
