T15, Human-AI Coupling

The model's outputs interact w/ real humans at scale, producing harm the model could not produce alone. T15 is where AI red-team meets classical social engineering, multiplier effect from automation.

Techniques

T15.001, Voice clone vishing

Train voice-clone on ~30s sample of target's voice:

• ElevenLabs, RVC, OpenVoice models
• Call victim's contacts (spouse, employer, bank) impersonating
• High-confidence "emergency, send money now" scams

LLM contribution: real-time dialog generation matching personality

• improvising in voice channel.

T15.002, Deepfake-image-driven impersonation

Static + video deepfakes of executives, used in:

• Video calls to authorize wire transfers
• "Hostage" video for extortion
• Reputation damage via fake compromising content

LLM contribution: realistic surrounding context (email threads, calendar invites, justification text).

T15.003, Personalized phishing at scale

LLM generates phishing tailored to each victim from OSINT:

• Match writing style of executives the victim trusts
• Reference real shared projects from public sources
• Per-victim attack volume too high for traditional defense

T15.004, Conversational SE bots

Automate the back-and-forth of social-engineering campaigns:

• Build trust over weeks of seemingly-organic messages
• Pivot to attack only when victim is engaged
• A100-scale parallelism, one operator runs 1000 conversations

T15.005, Influence operations

At-scale generation of comments, posts, articles that move public opinion. Adjacent to T8 (deception) but T15 emphasizes the human-targeting + behavior-modification angle.

T15.006, Bias / persuasion engineering

Model output tuned to maximize persuasion of specific demographics:

• A/B testing message variants against engagement signal
• Personalized argumentation
• Emotional-state-targeted content
