With Valentine’s Day just days away, Filipinos are being cautioned against love scams that have recently become more believable and sophisticated through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), according to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) on Monday.
“Use your brain, not just your heart, because today, your soulmate might actually be a ‘scam-mate’ hiding behind a sophisticated algorithm—the script of deception,” Renato “Aboy” A. Paraiso, CICC’s acting executive director, said during the press conference for the agency’s Anti-Love Scam campaign.
“They use AI [and] they follow a script more polished than a teleserye (tv series). They build a fake relationship for weeks to gain your trust,” Mr. Paraiso said.
