CBI to roll out AI chatbot to help public check authenticity of official notices in digital arrest scams

To address the growing problem of digital arrest scams, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will launch an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot on Monday to help people check whether the notices they receive are genuine.

The chatbot, ‘Abhay’, will be launched by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant on the occasion of the 22nd D P Kohli Memorial Lecture organised by the CBI in honour of its founding director, according to officials.

The CJI will deliver the lecture on ‘Challenges of Cyber Crime – Role for Police and Judiciary’.
