the term Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses computer systems capable of performing tasks that would normally require human intelligence. This includes Chatbots capable of understanding questions and responding in a human-like manner, and systems capable of recognizing objects in images. But according to Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, All this technology can make it difficult to identify scams. While AI can be used to detect and prevent fraud, scammers can also use the technology to create more sophisticated and difficult-to-detect scams.

You Scammers can use AI to create bots that look and behave like humans, which can make it harder for internet users to distinguish between a bot and a real human. Additionally, scammers can use AI to personalize their phishing messages to make them more convincing and persuasive, increasing the likelihood that people will fall for the scam.
Wozniak doesn't believe AI will replace people because it lacks emotion, but he warned that, in his opinion, it will make malicious people even more convincing because programs like ChatGPT can create texts that “sound very intelligent”.
Apple's co-founder was among those who signed a letter in March with more than a thousand people, including entrepreneur Elon Musk, calling for a pause in the development of the most powerful artificial intelligence models.
Steve Wozniak, a computing pioneer, says that missed opportunities at the dawn of the internet serve as a lesson for today's artificial intelligence architects. He believes that "we can't stop technology," but we can empower people to be better able to spot scams and malicious attempts to obtain personal information.
However, it's also important to highlight that AI can be a valuable tool in the fight against fraud and scams. Companies can use machine learning algorithms to identify fraud patterns in large data sets, which can help detect and prevent scams. Additionally, social media and e-commerce platforms can use AI-based identity verification systems to verify the authenticity of users and transactions.
