AP investigation shows how AI and other American technologies are abused to fuel scam industry

Rome-based investigative reporter Erika Kinetz and colleagues produced a multi-format package showing how American technologies are used to fuel the global scam industry. Using a screenshot an Indian man smuggled out of a Myanmar scam compound, Kinetz and C4ADS, a global security nonprofit, identified software used to target tens of thousands of victims monthly.
