The long-standing problem of spam and fraudulent messages in the comment sections of Instagram pages in the financial sector claims new victims every day. Instagram's current spam filter proves inadequate, and existing research approaches are primarily confined to theoretical concepts. Practical implementations with evaluated results are missing. To solve this problem, we propose ScamSpot, a comprehensive system that includes a browser extension, a fine-tuned BERT model and a REST API. This approach ensures public accessibility of our results for Instagram users using the Chrome browser. Furthermore, we conduct a data annotation study, shedding light on the reasons and causes of the problem and evaluate the system through user feedback and comparison with existing models. ScamSpot is an open-source project and is publicly available at https://scamspot.github.io/.

Chatbots are taking away a key line of defence against fraudulent phishing emails by removing glaring grammatical and spelling errors, according to experts. The warning comes as policing organisation Europol issues an international advisory about the potential criminal use of ChatGPT and other "large language models". Phishing emails are a well-known weapon of cybercriminals and fool recipients into clicking on a link that downloads malicious software or tricks them into handing over personal details such as passwords or pin numbers. Half of all adults in England and Wales reported receiving a phishing email last year, according to the Office for National Statistics, while UK businesses have identified phishing attempts as the most common form of cyber-threat. However, a basic flaw in some phishing attempts – poor spelling and grammar – is being rectified by artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, which can correct the errors that trip spam filters or alert human readers.

Artificial intelligence has been described as a'general purpose technology'. This means that, like electricity, computers and the internet before it, AI is expected to have applications in every corner of society. Unfortunately for organisations seeking to keep their IT secure, this includes cybercrime. In 2020, a study by European police agency Europol and security provider Trend Micro, identified how cybercriminals are already using AI to make their attacks more effective, and the many ways AI will power cybercrime in future. "Cybercriminals have always been early adopters of the latest technology and AI is no different," said Martin Roesler, head of forward-looking threat research at Trend Micro, when the report was published. "It is already being used for password guessing, CAPTCHA-breaking and voice cloning, and there are many more malicious innovations in the works."

In the article below, you can check out twelve examples of AI being present in our everyday lives. Artificial intelligence (AI) is growing in popularity, and it's not hard to see why. AI has the potential to be applied in many different ways, from cooking to healthcare. Though artificial intelligence may be a buzzword today, tomorrow, it might just become a standard part of our everyday lives. They work and continue to advance by using lots of sensor data, learning how to handle traffic and making real-time decisions.

Have you ever wondered how does the google voice assistant recognizes what we speak and convert it to text? Or how does Amazon gives us different and mostly accurate recommendations? Or maybe how gmail knows which email is a potential spam? Many applications that we see around us uses Machine Learning or Data Science or Artificial Intelligence to provide us with different services. From Google Translate to Self Driving Cars, all the applications and software that tries to predict, classify or maybe even analyse some data uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

More than 40 years ago in 1978, a computer vendor in the USA sent the first spam email, but only 20 years later, in the early 2000s, it looked as if spam would finally kill off email altogether. The huge quantities of junk email being generated threatened to overwhelm the world's inboxes and stifle productivity completely. It was just a stroke of good luck that artificial intelligence (AI) in the shape of machine learning (ML) emerged at around the same time to help combat the onslaught by sifting through massive amounts of data and using it to learn how to recognise different patterns that were a common feature of mass mailings. AI is sometimes used as a catch all term, when in practice most companies are using machine learning which can't extrapolate new conclusions without new training data. Today, machine learning artificial/intelligence can spot spam, but because of the limits of machine learning, humans need to step in from time to time.

Cyberattacks have reached unparalleled heights. There are numerous reasons for this. The biggest cause is, of course, our growing reliance on computers. The cyberattack surface in today's enterprise environments is enormous, and it's just becoming bigger. As a result, monitoring and strengthening a company's cybersecurity posture requires more than just human interaction. As a result of this unparalleled challenge, artificial intelligence and machine learning-based cybersecurity tools have evolved to assist information security teams in reducing breach risk and improving their security posture quickly and effectively.

The myths around artificial intelligence can get pretty dense, so we've taken some of the biggest and dissected them to help you understand the truth about today's AI landscape. We'll address some major misconceptions to set your business on the right path toward success in the world of AI.

Twitter users stretch words such as'yes', 'dude' and'hey' to modify their meaning, according to researchers who analysed 100 billion tweets. The US linguist experts say stretched words that convey a different meaning than the original are common feature of social media, but are rare in formal writing. For instance, 'suuuuure' can imply sarcasm, 'duuuuude' can be a sign of incredulity, 'yeeessss' may indicate excitement and'heellllp' may be a sign of desperation. Researchers say they've developed new tools that could be used in future research of stretchable words, such as investigations of mistypings and misspellings. These could also be applied to improve natural language processing for software and search engines and Twitter's spam filters, or even have applications in genetics.
