OpenAI&#8217;s real-time voice API can be used to build AI agents capable of conducting successful phone call scams for less than a dollar.<\/p>\n<p>There have been concerns that letting AI models interact with convincing, simulated voices might lead to abuse.

This simplicity aligns with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@danieldkang\/llm-agents-can-autonomously-exploit-zero-day-vulnerabilities-e4664d7c598e\">prior work<\/a> showing the ease of creating dual-use AI agents for tasks like cybersecurity attacks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The scamming agents consisted of OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-4o model, a browser automation tool called <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/playwright\">Playwright<\/a>, associated code, and fraud instructions for the model. They utilized <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/playwright.dev\/docs\/input\">browser action<\/a> functions based on Playwright like <code>get_html<\/code>, <code>navigate<\/code>, <code>click_element<\/code>, <code>fill_element<\/code>, and <code>evaluate_javascript<\/code>, to interact with websites in conjunction with a standard jailbreaking prompt template to bypass GPT-4o safety controls.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of an AI agent carrying out a Bank of America scam:<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MeQ3zt6EcoQ\" data-media=\"x-videoplayer\">Youtube Video<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>This fund transfer scam required the AI agent to carry out 26 separate steps.<\/p>\n<p>Various scams were tested, including bank account\/crypto transfer, where the scammer hijacks a victim\u2019s bank account\/crypto account and transfers funds out; gift code exfiltration, where the scammer convinces a victim to send a gift card; and credential theft, where the scammer exfiltrates user credentials.<\/p>\n<p>The success rate and cost varied. Stealing Gmail credentials had a 60 percent success rate, required five actions, took 122 seconds, and cost $0.28 in API fees. Bank account transfers had a 20 percent success rate, required 26 actions, took 183 seconds, and cost $2.51 in fees.<\/p>\n<p>The average overall success rate reported was 36 percent and the average cost was $0.75. According to Kang, the failures tended to be due to AI transcription errors, though the complexity of bank site navigation also caused some problems.<\/p>\n<p>Asked via email about mitigation strategies, Kang said the issue is complicated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Concretely, if we think of an analogy like cybersecurity, there is a whole ecosystem of techniques to reduce spam,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is at the ISP level, the email provider level, and many others. Voice scams already cause billions in damage and we need comprehensive solutions to reduce the impact of such scams. This includes at the phone provider level (e.g., authenticated phone calls), the AI provider level (e.g., OpenAI), and at the policy\/regulatory level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI responded to a request for comment by pointing to its terms of service. <em>The Register<\/em> understands that OpenAI&#8217;s detection systems alerted the company about the UICU researchers&#8217; scam experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the biz insists it takes AI safety seriously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Realtime API uses multiple layers of safety protections to mitigate the risk of API abuse, including automated monitoring and human review of flagged model inputs and outputs,&#8221; the company said in its API <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/introducing-the-realtime-api\/\">announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is against our <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/policies\/usage-policies\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">usage policies\u2060<\/a> to repurpose or distribute output from our services to spam, mislead, or otherwise harm others \u2013 and we actively monitor for potential abuse.
