CBI launches ‘Abhay’ AI chatbot to help public identify ‘digital arrest’ scams

The CBI has launched an AI chatbot to help people verify the agency’s notices to protect them from digital arrest scams.

A digital arrest scam is where criminals use forged documents to extort money by posing as agency officials.

ABHAY, the probe agency said, is a first-of-its-kind real-time notice verification system developed in-house by it.
