In this week's episode, we're taking a look at the rising use of AI in scams and how it can impact our lives and business technology.

The inspiration for this episoide is all thanks to our host's falling for a scam involving AI and Joe Rogan's voice.

As he recounts his story, we explore the growing sophistication of AI in impersonating voices and the challenges it presents in detecting scams.

Hi and welcome to the Techcess podcast. I'm Mark Riddell and in this episode I'm highlighting the role of AI tools like Chat GPT in writing convincing phishing emails.

But fear not, I'll also provide some tips on how to protect yourself from falling victim to these scams.

Join me as I uncover the dangers of AI scams and help you learn how to stay one step ahead in the digital world.
