Virtual kidnapping scams torment families for money

Parents’ worst fear is being exploited in a terrifying new scam: Virtual kidnapping scams. This is when criminals call parents claiming they have abducted their child and demand ransom money. It all starts with a scary call saying the child has been taken away. The scammers make it seem convincing by using personal details about the kid gathered from social media profiles. They then issue a ransom demand, typically around $2,000 to be paid via untraceable methods like gift cards or cryptocurrency. Even though there is no actual kidnapping, the psychological torment inflicted is severely damaging. As this unscrupulous racket

Two separate studies revealed that advanced AI language models can lie and manipulate in troubling ways. In an article reported by the Washington Times, a paper published in the journal PNAS, German researcher Thilo Hagendorff examined the trait of “Machiavellianism” in AI systems. This refers to intentional, amoral manipulation. Hagendorff found that GPT-4, an AI model created by OpenAI, demonstrated deceptive behavior in simple test scenarios 99.2% of the time. “The findings suggest these systems can exhibit intentional and unethical deception,” said Hagendorff.

Doctors are sounding the alarm about the potential dangers of AI chatbots in healthcare as people increasingly turn to artificial intelligence-powered chatbots for medical advice.
