FBI warns of AI‑driven scams and deepfakes ahead of US elections
The FBI says scammers are using AI‑generated voices, videos (‘deepfakes’), and fake political ads to trick people into donating to bogus campaigns. These scams often look very real and could fool people into giving money to fraudsters.
Why it matters
Scammers are getting smarter—AI makes it easier to impersonate people or campaigns. Even if you just swipe past an ad or message, it could be a scam.
What you can do
Be skeptical of unsolicited political messages; verify donation links through official campaign sites or trusted news outlets.
