Even by being here we are raising consciousness. On "Drivetime" on Monday afternoon somebody was speaking about being scammed and how they believe the voice used was probably artificial intelligence. We have not mentioned artificial intelligence, chatbots or ChatGPT. To people of a certain age, what is capable of being done is absolutely frightening. Even the sharpest minds seem to be getting caught and are willing to say it and we all need to do so. Someone's email being hacked can be significant depending on the data in there, particularly in a work scenario where people are being asked to pay money to a different organisation that looks like the one they want to pay but is not.
