Its Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Dr. Amirudin Abdul Wahab said Al-powered scams are getting smarter by the day, making them harder to spot.

He said it is crucial to stay updated on the latest scam tactics and take the necessary safeguards.

Some common Al-driven scam techniques include deep fakes, voice cloning, phishing emails and text messages as well as social media manipulation, said Datuk Dr. Amirudin.

“Deepfakes are videos or audio recordings that have been manipulated to make it look or sound like someone else is saying or doing something they never did.

“Scammers can use deepfakes to impersonate trusted individuals, such as a friend or family member, in order to trick victims into giving them money or personal information.

“Voice cloning is a technique that allows scammers to create a synthetic voice that sounds exactly like someone else's voice.

“Scammers can then use this voice to make phone calls to victims, pretending to be someone they trust. Al could be used to generate emails that appear to be from a victim's bank or credit card company, asking them to verify their account information,” he told The Star.
