Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra revealed she narrowly avoided an AI-powered scam where a caller impersonated a neighboring country's leader. The scammer attempted to solicit a donation by using AI to mimic the leader's voice. Paetongtarn, aware of the sophistication of the scam, alerted authorities and urges the public to remain vigilant against such AI-driven deception.
BANGKOK: Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Wednesday warned the public against falling for AI-powered scams after she personally escaped a con artist impersonating an Asean leader.
The scammer then called her at 11pm via the same app, but she said: “Fortunately I was in bed and didn’t answer the call.” “This voice message made me realise that I was being deceived. The bank account number provided did not belong to the neighbouring country either,” Paetongtarn said.
