$893 million in losses linked to A.I.<\/a>, the F.B.I. reported.<\/p>\n\u201cThis is our first coordinated effort and lawsuit and that speaks to the breadth of impact that this particular scam has,\u201d Halimah DeLaine Prado, Google\u2019s general counsel, said in an interview.<\/p>\n
In the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Google accused the Chinese network of using its technology and brand for fraudulent purposes. It asked the court for a restraining order so the company and law enforcement can work to shut down the network.<\/p>\n
Google said the network coordinated over the Telegram messaging service to share tips and trade software kits using A.I. to mass-produce scam messages across communications platforms.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected, the vast majority of them in the United States, Google said. The company could not pinpoint the amount of damages but said it was in the millions.<\/p>\n
Using A.I., the Chinese network created 131 software kits that made it easy to create thousands of fake websites. In a two-week period in May, the group sent 2.5 million messages to Android phone users with links to 9,000 fake websites and over one million fraudulent internet addresses connected to the group.<\/p>\n
\u201cCriminals increasingly use A.I. to make fraud like this more convincing and harder to detect,\u201d Brett Leatherman, the assistant director of the F.B.I.\u2019s Cyber Division, said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google sued a Chinese cybercrime network on Friday, accusing it of using the company\u2019s artificial intelligence to blast…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71515,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[25,387,1555,37186,20467,2408,132,1430,1153,24289],"class_list":["post-71514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-google","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-china","tag-computers-and-the-internet","tag-federal-bureau-of-investigation","tag-frauds-and-swindling","tag-gemini","tag-google","tag-google-gemini","tag-google-inc","tag-suits-and-litigation-civil"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
