CBI Announces New “ABHAY” AI Chatbot
As stated above, this tool has been designed keeping in mind the recent rise of “Digital Arrest” scams, where the victim is sent a fraudulent notice which appears to be issued by the law enforcement agency, falsely claiming that the individual was involved in some shady activities.
