MANILA, Philippines — As Valentine’s Day draws near, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has stepped up efforts to combat the rising threat of artificial intelligence-assisted love scams. Police cyber patrollers are undergoing training not only in AI detection but also in deepfake analysis and digital forensics to deter emerging forms of love scams. What has changed is their use of AI in committing these love scams. Deepfakes are now widespread and are being used to commit these love scams,” CICC executive director Renato Paraiso said in Filipino.
