Savi Security has launched a new app designed to protect consumers from increasingly sophisticated AI-generated scams, such as voice-cloned kidnapping threats. The company, founded by brothers Patrick and Ryan Coughlin, recently secured $7 million in seed funding led by Acrew Capital. Their inspiration stemmed from a personal experience where a family member nearly fell victim to a convincing AI-powered imposter scam. Savi's app aims to provide real-time intervention against these evolving threats, which have become more accessible due to powerful generative AI tools. AI

IMPACT This tool addresses the growing threat of AI-powered scams, potentially reducing consumer losses to sophisticated voice and text impersonations.
