British mobile phone company O2 has unveiled a new creation, Daisy, an artificial intelligence “granny” who talks to scammers to keep them away from real people. The AI technology can keep scammers on the phone for 40 minutes at a time, allowing real people to avoid being targeted by scammers.
The goal of Daisy is twofold: to keep scammers away from real people and to raise awareness about the dangers of risky phone hoaxes. Daisy was trained with the help of YouTuber and software engineer Jim Browning, who has made an online career exposing scammers to his community of 4.4 million subscribers.
