AI-Driven Scam Awareness: The Future is Now
AI-driven scams are an advanced form of digital fraud that rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to create messages, calls, and content that appear real and trustworthy, in order to deceive victims.
- Unintentionally sharing personal or financial information
- Clicking on malicious links that appear legitimate
- Acting on urgent requests presented in a secure and convincing manner
- Compromise of digital accounts and theft of sensitive data
- Direct financial losses
- AI-driven phishing scams account for more than 90% of digital breaches.
Example
You receive a call from a voice that sounds like a colleague, manager, or someone you know, urgently requesting a money transfer or a verification code. The request is supported by precise language, a convincing tone, and a follow-up message displaying an official logo.
- Always verify before clicking on links or sharing any information
- Don’t respond to urgent requests without confirming the source through a trusted, separate channel
- Be cautious of messages that look “too perfect,” as they may be designed to deceive
- Enable two-factor authentication and regularly update your security settings
