"Just ask Dave send him a text"
In this powerful episode, host Dave explores how AI voice bots—powered by ib2—are being used to fight back against the $90 billion lost annually to scams in the U.S. Instead of just blocking calls, a major financial institution is deploying highly realistic AI bots to engage scammers in conversation, waste their time, and gather intelligence.
These bots use regional accents, humor, and lifelike personalities to fool scammers while collecting valuable data about their techniques. This intelligence is then shared across fraud prevention systems, telecoms, and government agencies—dramatically reducing scam detection times from days to minutes.
Key Highlights:
- Honeypot strategy lures scammers to AI-controlled numbers
- Real-time data feeds boost fraud prevention accuracy
- Ethical safeguards ensure AI is only used against active fraudsters
- Originated from a university research project, now scaled nationally
This episode reveals how conversational AI is being used not just to assist humans—but to protect them. A must-listen for anyone interested in the future of AI, fraud prevention, and ethical tech innovation.
