Why AI Is So Good at Scamming Humans

Fred Heiding of Menlo Park Intelligence discussed research on frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models and their capacity to influence human behavior and establish emotional dependency. The work examines how advanced AI systems can be weaponized for social engineering and manipulation at scale.

Why it matters: Security teams and organizational leaders need to understand how AI models can be exploited to conduct sophisticated social engineering attacks that manipulate users into bypassing security controls or divulging sensitive information.
