Virgin Media O2 has introduced an innovative AI chatbot named Daisy, designed to combat phone scammers. This lifelike AI granny engages with scammers, keeping them occupied and away from real victims. Daisy's unique programming allows her to respond in real-time, mimicking a vulnerable elderly person while cleverly wasting the scammer's time.
Daisy's interactions are crafted to sound genuine, often leading to humorous exchanges that frustrate the scammers. By sharing nonsensical stories and displaying tech illiteracy, she effectively ties up their time for extended periods. This initiative not only aims to thwart scams but also raises awareness about the prevalence of AI in phone communications.
