- Data Doctors: How to use AI to fight scams
Dedicated scam detector apps are often disappointing and may collect personal data, so users should utilize general-purpose AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini instead. To fight modern scams, users should prompt the chatbot to analyze a message for red flags and explain the potential mechanics of the fraud, rather than just asking if it is safe. This approach helps build intuition and protects against sophisticated text and email scams.
