The United States has always been full of scammers, from snake oil salesmen promising miracle cures, to stockbrokers selling Ponzi schemes.
But now, swindlers and thieves have a new tool in their toolbox: AI.
The FBI says cybercrimes involving AI stole nearly a billion dollars from 22,000 Americans last year. And the situation is only getting worse.
On today's episode, AI has turbocharged the scam industry. So, how can we protect ourselves?
GUESTS:
Andrea Alegrett, an assistant the Washington Attorney General's office.
Yuki Ishizuka, Technology Policy Manager, Washington Attorney General's office.
