The interior Ministry revealed new schemes of fraud with the use of artificial intelligence technologies

According to official materials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, criminals are increasingly using artificial intelligence technologies to deceive the population. With their help, they generate so-called deepfakes, forge the voices of real people and replace video images.

The official message of the Ministry emphasizes that modern software makes it possible to make believable fakes, copy the manner of speech and change the video. These methods are used to misinform citizens, disguise as other people and mislead proxies. The police also noted that the use of such technologies to bypass biometric authentication and digital identification systems poses a particular threat. Criminals are able to generate photos, videos and audio messages, artificially recreate the process of communicating with close relatives, superiors or employees of various organizations.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs reminded citizens that the presence of a voice or video on the Internet can not serve as one hundred percent confirmation of the identity of the interlocutor. Law enforcement officers strongly recommend that when receiving non-standard requests, especially regarding the transfer of funds, transfer of secret codes or confidential data, it is necessary to double-check information through alternative, independent channels of communication.
