AI makes scams a risk for everyone, experts warn
Artificial intelligence has significantly increased cybercriminals' capabilities, making scams a threat to a much wider audience. A lawyer and a technology expert discuss how the fraud landscape has changed.
Experts caution that artificial intelligence has given cybercriminals greater capacity, turning scams into a concern for a much broader public. A lawyer and a technology specialist have examined how the fraud landscape has changed, according to the available account. The warning fits within the wider personal-finance topic of digital fraud, where the reach and scale of deceptive schemes can affect ordinary consumers, not only those traditionally considered targets.
The shift may affect a wide range of people, including those who use digital financial services and communications in daily life. As scams become harder to identify, consumers could face greater emotional and financial strain, while institutions may need to adapt verification and education efforts. The impact may be uneven, with less experienced or less connected users potentially more vulnerable, though the warning suggests no group is entirely insulated.
