Digital arrest scams: CBI to launch chatbot to help people

To tackle the menace of digital arrest frauds, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will on Monday unveil an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot that will help people verify the authenticity of notices issued to them.

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

The CJI will deliver the lecture on ‘Challenges of Cyber Crime – Role for Police and Judiciary’. He will also confer 24 Medals for Meritorious Service.
