Homegrown AI scams / Escalator accidents

主持人：Jim Gould and John Bruce

On Tuesday’s Backchat, we’re talking about homegrown AI scams.

The police said on Sunday said that they'd broken up a syndicate and arrested 31 people suspected of swindling victims out of at least HK$34 million.

Those who'd been targeted were said to be mostly from outside Hong Kong, including Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and the United States.

Investigations showed that the syndicate used deepfake AI technology to gain victims’ trust and develop romantic relationships.

And while this is not the first time such methods have been used in fraudulent practices, this operation was based in Hong Kong, raising concerns over the possible presence of other hidden scam centres in the city.

After 9.45, we get a technician’s reaction to recent accidents involving escalator users.

9:05am-9:45am: Homegrown AI scams

9:05am-9:45am: Joshua Chu, Hong Kong-based cybersecurity lawyer

9:05am-9:30am: Prof Emil Chan, Founding Chairman of the Association of Cloud and Mobile Computing

9:30am-9:45am: Michael Gazeley, Co-founder and Managing Director of Network Box Corporation

9:45am-10:00am: Escalator accidents

9:45am-10:00am: Roy Lam, Principal Engineer of Lifthium Consultancy
