Modern World, Modern Threats: A practical UK guide to AI scams

By Peter Martin

A familiar voice. A convincing message. An urgent request. Would you know what to do next?
Technology is changing quickly, and the people who misuse it are changing their methods just as fast. Artificial intelligence can help criminals imitate a loved one's voice, create a convincing video or write a message that appears to come from your bank.
Understanding these threats can help you feel more comfortable with technology, and more confident when something doesn't seem right.

Written specifically for UK readers, with advice you can use here at home.
