"Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is making it easier for scammers to operate undetected. In an interview with TechCrunch, Wozniak said that AI is being used to create more realistic and convincing scams, making it difficult for people to tell them apart from real communications. ""AI is making it easier for scammers to create fake websites, fake emails, and fake social media profiles that look like they're from legitimate companies,"" Wozniak said. ""This makes it harder for people to tell if they're being scammed."" Wozniak also warned that AI is being used to create more personalized scams. For example, scammers can use AI to target people with specific interests or vulnerabilities. This makes it more likely that people will fall for the scam."


"""AI is making it easier for scammers to target people who are more likely to be fooled,"" Wozniak said. ""This is a serious problem, and we need to be aware of it."" Wozniak's warning comes at a time when AI is being used in a variety of ways, including for fraud and other criminal activities. In 2021, the FBI reported that it had received over 700,000 complaints about investment fraud, a type of scam that is often facilitated by AI. The use of AI in scams is likely to continue to grow in the future. As AI technology becomes more sophisticated, it will become easier for scammers to create more convincing and personalized scams. This is a serious threat to cybersecurity, and it is important for people to be aware of the risks."


"Wozniak is not the only person who has warned about the dangers of AI scams. In 2020, the World Economic Forum (WEF) said that AI could be used to create ""super scams"" that are virtually undetectable. The WEF also warned that AI could be used to automate the process of creating and distributing scams, making it even more difficult to track down and stop scammers. The use of AI in scams is a serious threat to cybersecurity. It is important for people to be aware of the risks and to take steps to protect themselves."
