Malaysia Launches AI-Powered Scam Prevention Initiative
What happened
The National Cyber Security Agency launched the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) initiative in Malaysia. This initiative involves developing an artificial intelligence-powered application that allows users to check suspicious phone numbers, bank accounts, or links for early warnings of scams. The application's success will be evaluated based on the amount of financial losses it prevents.
