Category: AI-enabled Scam Calls

AI-enabled Scam Calls use advanced artificial intelligence techniques to deceive and manipulate individuals over the phone. These calls often involve sophisticated voice synthesis and natural language processing technologies that can mimic real people, including loved ones or trusted officials, to gain the target’s trust. The AI systems can analyze and respond to conversations in real-time, making the scam more convincing and harder to detect. By leveraging these capabilities, scammers can craft highly personalized and believable messages, tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information, making financial transactions, or falling victim to other forms of fraud.
