AI's Double-Edged Sword: Scam Awareness for Developers

AI-Powered Scams: Dev Awareness

As developers, we see AI's potential, yet its weaponization by scammers is a critical concern.

An AI simulating a colleague's voice for an urgent request, or a deepfake impersonating a bank — these are real, present dangers. Our technical awareness is crucial for defense.
