intelligence used for fake kidnapping scams. experts say they've seen a 40% rise in these types of attacks compared to last year. so we took a closer look at the capabilities of ai and how to protect yourself. >> please send the money. this is for real. >> reporter: that was a voice fake meant to sound just like me, generated by artificial intelligence, and with the rise of ai, victims across the country tell us kidnapping scams are getting more believable and terrifying. >> i get a phone call, and it's my daughter's voice, and bree says, mom, and she's crying and sobbing. i never doubted it was her. >> reporter: jennifer even testifying on capitol hill as congress and president biden call for more ai regulation. we asked pete nicoletti of checkpoint technologies, one of the largest cybersecurity firms, to explain how this rapidly evolving tech is changing the game for scammers

and their victims. first, he shows us some ai basics, using content pulled directly from my social media. >> you pulled some photographs of me out on a breaking news scene. >> here you are. this is mississippi, in front of a terrible tornado. but with artificial intelligence, you can just say, hey, i want to put whit in front of canadian wildfires. this ai tool is so advanced that it adds the shadow. >> i can see you found my head shot. wow. >> it's very realistic. >> the ai can create almost any scenario, as long as you have the basics to work with. >> just your face. >> whit: next, we wanted to hear what the team at checkpoint could do using ai with just a ten-minute sample of my voice. take a listen. this is not a real call. >> i just went out to lunch with the crew and my company credit card is not working. sending you a link to pay back the guy that covered me. >> this would come in as a voice message, and the criminals can easily impersonate your phone number so it says "whit cell." >> whit: what if scammers tried to convince my family members

that i had been kidnapped? to be clear, this is a voice fake example. listen. >> my love, it is me, whit, please listen carefully. i have been abducted and am being held in a basement, tied up in the dark. please follow their instructions. do not notify the authorities. >> you look scared, whit. >> well, i am. that's very believable. these scammers now can have a conversation with you in realtime. >> there's tools where you can actually type it in and use your voice. >> whit: again, the audio you're about to hear is not real. >> please send the money. this is for real. they are asking me to say the date of life. it's june 14th. please send the money now. >> the ai can actually adjust the inflection in my voice. >> absolutely. we don't have any recordings of you under stress, but i can change your voice to where you're now stressed. >> whit: he tells us that ai is the fastest evolving technology ever. while ai can be a big help in everyday tasks like generating a dinner recipe or coming up with a workout routine, to protect

your family from scammers, nicoletti says to adopt a safe word that can be used when trying to communicate with a loved one who has supposedly been kidnapped. rich frankel is a former fbi special agent who handled cyber crime cases for the bureau and for national intelligence. he recommends recording any type of suspicious call, then trying to reach your loved one directly. >> i would call law enforcement right away because, if it is a real kidnapping, you want law enforcement involved, and, if it's a scam, you want to know about it right away. >> whit: so, another helpful tip here, experts recommend making your social media as private as possible because scammers, of course, they can use all that information, the photos, the videos, use that against you and attempt to take your money. what'd you think of the voice? believable for you? >> janai: no, thankfully. the difference is they took it from news reports, like you said. personally, your voice is much more high-pitched and nasally. i'm just kidding. >> whit: thank you.

>> janai: that part wasn't believable, but if they just took it from your social media or something, it could have been. >> whit: the other thing is, think about it this way, when you're not expecting it, you're a family member. you get a phone call. this voice comes and it's distressed and you hear a voice in the background, that is what people are saying is believable and terrifying. >> gio: but that head shot, that moving head shot. that was very real. >> whit: they can do that all within just minutes, by the way. >> janai: really important reporting, whit. let's switch gears now, send it over to somara theodore for a check of the weather. good morning again, somara. >> somara: good morning, janai. yesterday alone, we had 26 tornado reports. here is a look at little america, wyoming. you can see that tornado spinning up some dust there at its base out in an open field, so that's good news, but the threat for more tornados exists today. we're tracking a chance for severe storms through iowa. then tomorrow, this shifts east, moves into the ohio valley. good morning, cincinnati. you could be in for some very strong storms tomorrow afternoon. and then, it moves to the east. right in that bullseye, we have

"you will find your people: how to make meaningful friendships as an adult" is out now. lane joins us live. thank you so much for being with us. i think we can all relate.

>> whit: yes. >> janai: we're going to kick things off with something that will help put our minds at ease. you say quality over quantity, it's not the number of friends you have that matters. >> absolutely. you know, so many of us are comparing ourselves to social media or tv shows, and we think we have to have x number of friends in order to be successful and the friend group has to look like this and see each other every single day, but the truth is, if you have even one or two people who are really wonderful and make you feel seen and loved and you have fun with them, you're lucky, you're ahead of the game. and also, the people that we're comparing ourselves to on social media, those friend groups might have a bunch of problems, like we don't know. >> gio: exactly. >> there could be infighting. we're comparing ourselves to these people when i just think that's not really serving us. and so if you have even one person who you get to see every once in a while and they just -- you have the best time with them, you're winning. >> gio: so, when you're going inward, how do you open yourself up to be this person that people want to be friends with? >> yeah, so, there's so much of this idea that you have to hide parts of yourself when you're going to make friends because

you want to be a likable person, but i don't agree with that. i think you should be your fullest self. if you're a little bit awkward or a little bit nervous, i think that you should feel free to be that way because that actually might attract the type of friend who's like, i'm a little bit awkward, i'm a little bit anxious too, and then you're actually getting to meet people as the person you are, instead of some ideal that you're trying to get them to like you, but it's not your true self. >> whit: totally. my wife accuses me of this. as i've gotten older, i've struggled to make friends, but it's mostly because i'm busy. i got stuff going on. it takes effort. you got to put in the time. where is the best place to make friends? like the gym? the bar? it's like you're picking up friends? how does that work? >> picking up friends. you know, there's so much emphasis placed on, like -- i don't think there's one hot bar or one perfect club where you go and make friends. i think that, you know, we should just be open to making friends wherever we are. sometimes you're in the grocery store or something and you have this nice conversation with someone, and you're like, this

is kind of nice, should i go somewhere with this? maybe we keep talking. one of the easiest things to do is say, like, hey, do you want to follow each other on social media? it's so low-stakes, and you're not saying, like, would you like to go do something later? >> whit: like let's take this conversation to the next level. >> right. >> gio: that's how you don't get a friend. >> that can be weird. so, just saying, do you want to follow each other on social media? no big deal. it's so easy. also, once you follow each other on social media, you might find, they like this band i like, this book i like. you have more to talk about or invite them to something in a few weeks, but treating it like a full-time job, like my wife says i got to make friends, that's not fun. it's also so much easier and more joyful to just be open to it wherever you go. like, oh, if this conversation is good, maybe i'll take it a little bit further. you could meet people anywhere and just being a little bit more vulnerable. >> janai: and i love that you brought up the social media because that was the next question. once you find someone, how are you -- do you want to be my friend? like, what do you do next?

do you have anything else besides, like, let's follow each other on social media? >> yeah, i think that's the best thing. and then, you know, just keep leaving the door open. i think that's really it. so many of us are so afraid of rejection and things like that, but i think that, you know, you can just say things like, oh, i'm going to this show in a couple weeks, i already have tickets if you want to come with me. just very no-pressure because this way we don't feel like we're forcing someone to do something they don't want to do. but you know, just those moments of vulnerability that feel really scary to do, but that's how friendship is formed is by saying, like, i think you're cool. if you ever want to do something, i'm putting it out there. and just, you know, seeing what happens. because it could lead to something great. >> whit: just to clarify, i do have some friends. >> janai: we're your friends, whit. >> gio: we're your friends. >> whit: thank you, thank you. >> janai: lane, thank you so much. "you will find your people" is available now. let's send it back to our friend, somara, for another check of the weather. >> somara: the tropics are pretty active right now. we're headed to north point,

barbados. look at that wave crushing the seawall there. this is as a result of tropical storm bret. so let me bring you up to speed. we got two storms out there, two simultaneously named storms in june, first time since 1968. bret's track is getting ready to fizzle out just south of jamaica there by tomorrow afternoon. and cindy, headed out to sea, pretty strong right now, but it's also anticipated to die down. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see what's going on closer to home. >> whit: coming >> gio: coming up here, snakes? why'd it have to be snakes?

it's called capitalism and i -- >> whit: trying to get gio to do the indiana jones voice again. >> gio: i don't know what that was. >> whit: it was good. less than a week away from the return of indiana jones on the big screen. harrison ford is back in the title role, 15 years after the last installment. this morning, abc contributor kelly carter is taking us on an epic adventure through the legendary legacy of indiana jones. >> start the engine! >> reporter: it's the action adventure film franchise that first took audiences to new heights in the summer of 1981. >> i hate snakes! i hate them! >> reporter: and now -- >> that's why they call it the jungle, sweetheart. >> reporter: and more than 40 years later, indiana jones is back. >> i'm retiring.

ever marks the spot. >> a really good-looking, cool guy doing science. he was just all about swag. he was just about this confidence, this swag. he could fight, but he wasn't a superhero. so any of us could, in theory, be indiana jones. >> i don't know. i'm making this up as i go. >> reporter: after "raiders" came the star-studded sequels, shining bright with oscar winners from kate blanchett to sean connery. >> dad! >> reporter: carving out a lasting legacy and fan base, few other films have achieved, including making a mark on actual archaeologists. >> it's safe to say that you probably never had to outrun a boulder. >> never had to outrun a boulder. >> every kid in my school wanted to become an archaeologist. did the academic programs notice an uptick in the interest in the field of study around that time? >> i know a lot of people who went into archaeology or, you

know, other fields like that, studying things in the past. the series of movies had an influence on a lot of people. >> you want to be a good archaeologist? you got to get out of the library. >> reporter: and as indiana jones sets out on one last adventure, fans are sure to keep this archaeologist's name in the history books. >> you look back and you say, this movie still holds up. it's still funny. it's still action-packed and it can still do something to your cinematic soul. >> but i've been looking for this all my life. >> reporter: for "good morning america," kelly carter, los angeles. >> whit: can't wait. >> gio: that song. that music. >> whit: our thanks to kelly carter for that. gio, you wanted to be an archaeologist after watching those movies. >> gio: i studied anthropology in college. i just, like, i've always been -- >> janai: we got you to study acting.
