Description
Artificial intelligence, also known as ‘AI’ is growing by the day.
Experts say as impressive as the technology is, it's also concerning.
Earlier this week, an Arizona mom testified before a Senate Judiciary Committee, recalling a terrifying ordeal where scammers manipulated her daughter's voice.
"A threatening and vulgar man took the call over.....listen here, I have your daughter!"
The FBI recently issued a warning about AI, saying scammers were turning innocent photos and videos into something explicit to extort victims.
Students have been using the technology to write research papers, without doing any of the work themselves.
"It's definitely an amazing tool that can used for good but it's also a tool that can be used for evil," said Nikolas Behar, a professor of cyber security at the University of San Diego.
Behar says the benefits of AI include everything from diagnosing medical conditions to helping with math problems.
