New App Savi Guards Against AI-Powered Scams Like Fake Kidnapper Demands
Savi launched its app to detect and block AI-generated voice and video scams, such as a scammer using a cloned loved one's voice to demand ransom. The company just raised $7 million in seed funding to expand protections for everyday users.
Savi released its app for iPhone and Android, designed to protect users from AI-generated scams. These scams often involve realistic fake voices or videos, such as a scammer impersonating a family member and demanding a ransom after supposedly kidnapping them. The app uses AI to analyze incoming calls and messages for signs of deepfake manipulation or social engineering, alerting users before they fall victim.
The company also announced it has raised $7 million in seed funding to fuel further development and adoption.
This matters because AI-generated scams are becoming harder to spot. A scammer could use AI voice cloning to mimic a loved one's voice in real time, or create a fake video to make it seem like they are in real trouble. Savi's app helps you verify whether a call or message is legitimate, giving you peace of mind in an era of increasingly convincing fraud.
To try it out, download Savi from the App Store or Google Play today. Once installed, enable the app's call and message scanning features to start protecting yourself from AI scams immediately.
