Americans faced staggering losses of $12.5 billion due to fraud last year, as reported by the Federal Trade Commission. This alarming figure highlights the growing sophistication of cyber scams, particularly as artificial intelligence (AI) technologies become more accessible to malicious actors.
Cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging AI to create more convincing phishing schemes, automated scams, and deepfake technologies that can impersonate trusted individuals or organizations. These advancements enable fraudsters to manipulate victims with unprecedented realism, making it difficult for individuals to discern genuine communications from deceptive ones.

Consumers are urged to remain vigilant, employing best practices such as multi-factor authentication and verifying communications before taking any action. As AI continues to evolve, so too must the strategies to combat these sophisticated threats in the realm of personal finance.
