Nowadays, with the help of Artificial Intelligence, such things are happening that our eyes remain wide open. Image, video, audio, everything created by AI is starting to look absolutely real, and in some time it will become better than humans.
But the worrying thing is that it is used for both good and bad purposes. So there is no problem with the good ones, but how can we avoid these bad people, who are cheating people by using Artificial Intelligence in a wrong way. So now let us know what is going on, and how we should avoid it.
How are hackers using Artificial Intelligence? Online fraud
We see different scams every day, but due to AI, these scams have become more advanced, so much so that nothing seems fake. Using AI, Deepfake Video calls, voice cloning, and AI Generated Images have become weapons of hackers for cyber crimes.
Imagine you get a call, and the voice exactly sounds like that of your friend, or brother or sister, and it is the same person in the video call, and they are asking you for money. All this seems so real that many people fall prey to it. There are only a few people who act wisely and avoid this. So the question is, what should we do so that we do not become the next victim of these people?
You just have to use one thing more, and that is Common Sense. If you feel even 1 percent that something is wrong, then just keep these things in mind –
1. Cross Verify – If you have any doubt on any call or message, then cross verify it directly. If it is related to bank account, then talk to the bank people directly.
2. Your safety is your responsibility – Keep your information as safe as possible. Do not give your bank account or card information on any strange website, or share any OTP or PIN with anyone.
3. Stay updated about scams – New scams keep coming in the market every day, but if you are not aware about those scams, then you can get trapped in them.
AI is a wonderful thing that can change the world, but some people are taking advantage of it by misusing it. We just have to avoid them, and if you see any scam happening, then you report it.
