AG ​Nessel is reissuing her Artificial Intelligence and Scams alert to warn residents about the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) by fraudsters to take advantage of consumers. AI is being misused to create realistic deepfake audio and video scams.

“Fraudsters are increasingly using AI to make their scams more convincing. The best way to combat these schemes is to be aware of the warning signs, verify the caller’s identity, and never rush to send money if you are pressured.” – AG Nessel
