The FBI Says AI Is Now a Mass Criminal Tool
The FBI just released this year’s internet crime report, and for the first time in twenty-five years there’s a section dedicated to Artificial Intelligence among the crime categories. Which means AI is officially a mass criminal tool.
Recognized AI losses are worth 893 million dollars, almost a billion, and it’s an undercount, because we’re only counting the people who realized they’d been fooled by a machine. When the scam is done well, the victim stays convinced it was all real.
The elderly are the ones getting hit, because complaints from people over sixty grew 37% in a year and losses grew 59%. They call them with the voice of a grandchild in trouble, while the real grandchild is home and doing just fine.
AI makes industrial what was already there, because before, a scammer worked one person at a time and now works five hundred, each with a different story written by the machine. Corporate emails with wire transfers approved by cloned voices on the phone, fake calls from our bank, romance scams, they always existed, but now they run at enormous scale.
There’s one good thing though, because the FBI froze 679 million of the stolen money, and it works if we report right away, in hours and not days.
Suspicion is unfortunately the normal way to be online now, because an email that’s too perfect is a warning sign and a familiar voice asking us for money has to be verified outside the channel, calling back the number we already have saved and not the one they called us from.
