Criminals are exploiting generative artificial intelligence (AI) to commit fraud on a much larger scale than before, warned the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), adding that the advanced technology increases the “believability of their schemes.”
“Generative AI reduces the time and effort criminals must expend to deceive their targets,” said a Dec. 3 alert from the agency. The technology “takes what it has learned from examples input by a user and synthesizes something entirely new based on that information.”
