The American Meta technology giant today warned internet users of the growing risk of using genetic artificial intelligence (k) by people who will attempt to deceive those who seek love online.

Artificial intelligence tools allow scammers to create video images, in a false voice, to respond to video calls and to portray someone else.

THE Devid Angranovicwho is responsible for dealing with global threats, he cited as an example, at a press conference he gave, a Cambodian -based cyber -based group targeted by people who speak Japanese or Chinese. According to researchers at Openai, this group used the company’s software to create and translate the content.

The main goal of the scammers was of course to get money from their victims. They devote the time needed to build trust relationships with the victims and, slowly, find the way to grab money or personal data.

To achieve their goal, they use all social networking sites and Meta is only able to identify only some of their activity, Angranovic stressed. He thus urged users to prudence, as loneliness, the fact that the mood of many falls in the winter months as well as the forthcoming celebration of lovers, Valentine’s Day, are circumstances that the scammers exploit.

OR Rachel TobakMeta’s executive, urged users to be “polite paranoid” when they know someone on the internet and develop feelings about him, especially if this person requests money for some supposed emergency or professional opportunity.

Genetic artificial intelligence has been widely spread for about a year but its use in scams has been increasing in recent months as the available tools, often found for free, allow fraudsters to create “persuasive” non -existent persons. “They can even use bots (automatically or semiautomatic software, capable of chatting with a human) created by artificial intelligence to call, with a false voice, without even having human intervention“, Tobak described.
