Criminals Use AI To Facilitate Scams

OpenAI said Wednesday (Feb. 25) in its latest threat report that criminals are combining AI with websites and social media to conduct scams and influence operations. The report details cases including a China-linked attempt to plan covert influence operations, a Cambodia-based romance scam using ChatGPT and automated chatbots, and a Russia-linked content farm generating translations and comments. It notes AI content often wasn't decisive; ads and accounts mattered more.
