This new AI grandmother is a ‘scam’ for scammers

Online scams have become a global concern with fraudsters using new tricks to dupe the innocent ones. To tackle the rise of digital fraud, British telecom company Virgin Media O2 has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot named Daisy. Modeled after a friendly, chatty grandmother, Daisy is designed to keep scammers tied up in long-winded conversations, wasting their time while safeguarding potential victims from falling prey.
