How do I avoid being scammed by AI?

In a world where AI Voice clones can sound like your bank manager or your child in distress, Aleks Krotoski and Kevin Fong discover how to avoid being scammed by AI.

Some scams are easier to spot than others - The Prince never has money locked in an account that only you, dear brave internet user, can free for him - but in the age of AI, some scams are becoming increasingly difficult to spot, and defend against.

AI can churn out phishing emails and texts - the kind meant to make you log in to a fake banking page - far faster than any human. Deepfake celebrities have already appeared in videos offering free cookware, in return for a ‘small’ delivery cost - resulting in no cookware, but hidden monthly charge suddenly activated on your bank account. And, sometimes most upsetting of all, AI voice clones have been made that trick people into believing a loved one is injured, or kidnapped, trying to frighten families into handing over money to secure their safety.

With the people behind these scams so hard to find and prosecute, it’s up to individuals to protect themselves. So in this episode of The Artificial Human, Aleks and Kevin discover 'How we can all avoid being scammed by AI?'
