There will be no end to the scams perpetrated by artificial intelligence. An AI scam that already has people worried is the capability of emulating a person's voice perfectly by capturing only a few spoken words. Imagine the reaction someone might have upon hearing their child or spouse pleading for money over the phone to get them out of a jam and avoid a catastrophe, and there seems to be no doubt who the person is.
Phishing messages pretend to come from a trusted organization, and AI can make the message more convincing. Fraudulent investment opportunities and charities are favorites for AI scammers. AI can make fake voice calls from a bank, credit card company or the IRS sound more realistic.
ChatGPT Scam
There are even scams for accessing popular chatbots that pop up if the user misspells the name. For example, there is a ChatGPT scam that requires an annual subscription that cannot be cancelled but merely takes the person to the free ChatGPT website. See
