About
Online scams are becoming endemic and cybercriminals have a free run at consumers. New technology like AI can be weaponized to fake voices and faces, to learn even more about people’s behaviour and to ramp up the scale of fraud. Yet in enforcers and consumers’ hands AI can also lead the fight back, with for example, mass scale monitoring and automated takedowns of suspicious sites and links.
This month’s Start Talking will discuss new technology front in the battle to win back the internet from scams.

Only 7% of all scams are currently reported to organisations who, unfortunately, do not share this data. Therefore, we do not have a unified picture. The other reason why we don't have enough evidence is the reluctance of people to report that they've been victims of scam

We launched the Netsafe Lab that builds and tests tools & infrastructure to support online safety activities. As a concrete example, we developed 'Rescam' to help people counter scammers by using AI to create an endless loop of scammers conversing with automated bots.
