JAKARTA - The Indonesian Financial Services Authority revealed that the mode of digital fraud over the past three months caused losses to victims of Rp700 billion.

This was revealed from more than 42,000 complaints through the Indonesia Anti Scam Center (IASC). One of the frauds that occurred was Love Scam, where fraudsters used fake identities or deepfake technology.

One of the worrying things about this trend is how AI can blur the boundaries between human and digital interactions. With the chatbots being created capable of mimicking human emotions,

"With AI running more and more advanced, it is increasingly difficult to distinguish whether the video or photo is genuine, which has proven problematic when a man tries to approach a woman or vice versa," said Wafa Taftazani, General Manager of Indonesia at Tools for Humanity.

With AI-driven chatbots becoming more sophisticated and capable of mimicking emotional connections, fraudsters find new ways to exploit this technology.

In a new global study conducted by the World to more than 90,000 people across the World Network, it shows that more than one in four respondents admitted to teasing AI-driven chatbots.

This research shows that more than a quarter of respondents (26 percent) admitted that they had teased chatbots or AIs, either for fun or without realizing it.

Most or about 90 percent of respondents showed that they prefer dating apps that include verification systems to ensure that users are real humans.

However, 61 percent of respondents said they were worried about finding fake bots or profiles on dating apps. In fact, 60 percent of them have suspected or found a fake match, where someone they match is a bot or AI.

In fact, online dating applications and sites are used by millions of people around the world, including Indonesia. However, online dating scams are increasingly common apart from success stories in the world of online romance.
