Question 1

How do you spot an AI scam?

Accepted Answer

Look for common signs of AI scams, such as irregularities, overly perfect images, or odd speech patterns that are often repetitive and vague. If a scammer is using voice and/or face cloning AI technology to impersonate someone you know, try to ask questions to verify their identity. Alternatively, look up the name or number they give, using a reverse search tool.

Question 2

How do I protect myself from AI?

Accepted Answer

Approach anything you see or hear online or on your phone with a certain level of skepticism. As AI grows, it may become more difficult to tell what’s real and what’s fake. To protect yourself, don’t give up sensitive private information online, through text or email, or via a link you’ve received. Also, beware of extra-convincing catfishing attempts, and never send money to someone you haven’t met in real life.

Question 3

What are some ways to check if a message is from a scammer?

Accepted Answer

If you receive a message that has a sense of urgency and is requesting action on your part, that’s your first sign. Also, look out for messages containing links, requests for private information, and requests for payments. If you notice the “person” you’re messaging keeps saying the same things and ineffectively answering your questions, there’s also a good chance you’re talking with an AI-powered bot.
