This new AI grandmother is a ‘scam’ for scammers
British telecom company Virgin Media O2 has introduced an AI-powered chatbot named Daisy to combat the rising tide of online scams. Designed as a friendly grandmother, Daisy engages scammers in long, rambling conversations, effectively wasting their time and preventing them from targeting real individuals. This innovative approach, known as “scambaiting,” aims to protect potential victims and disrupt fraudulent activities.
