Tech companies announced a slew of new security and scam-prevention tools this week, in their ongoing efforts to clean up the AI slop \u2014 and security risks \u2014 their technology helped create. YouTube expanded its deepfake detection technology to politicians and journalists, while Meta is now warning Facebook users about suspicious friend requests and when potential scammers appear to try linking a user\u2019s WhatsApp account to their device.<\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s tools are \u201cpart of a multilayer defense,\u201d and are not sufficient on their own, Meta\u2019s David Agranovich, director of global threat disruption, told reporters. That\u2019s because scammers are increasingly operating across multiple platforms and using AI to make their accounts more realistic. The nature of cybersecurity means tech companies are largely responding to scams, rather than getting ahead of them. And as AI helps bad actors with ever more sophisticated tactics, tech companies will continue to struggle to put the cat back in the bag.<\/p>\n
