The fight against phone scams is becoming increasingly important through the use of AI bots. Security experts use such systems to employ and stop fraudsters. These AI bots can automatically make calls to fool fraudsters or engage them in some sort of distraction, giving them less time to find real victims. Technology allows fraudsters to worry for hours and interrupt their activities. This increases the efficiency of security measures, and the likelihood that a call is actually successful decreases significantly. AI bots are a key technology used in both the security industry and corporate communications. They can be used in various ways, such as detecting call fraud or automating security processes. The development of such systems is an active field of research that is constantly being developed to detect and block new attack methods. At the same time, however, there is also criticism of the use of AI in this context. Some experts warn of the ethical implications of using AI bots to deceive or harass people. Nevertheless, AI remains an effective method to increase security in the digital space. Another issue is vulnerability management. Civil rights activists and Bitkom are calling for stricter legal regulations to ensure security in dealing with digital systems. This is particularly relevant when it comes to the security of AI systems and their application. Another aspect is the recognition of AI texts. Experts show how AI-generated texts such as ChatGPT and Claude can be recognized by typical phrases. This is important for checking the authenticity of texts and detecting fraud. Overall, the use of AI in the fight against phone scams is a complex issue that brings both benefits and challenges. It requires careful consideration of security, ethics and law. AI technology has the potential to improve security in the digital space, but it must be used carefully to avoid negative consequences.
