Are they asking you for money to install Google Bard? Don’t stop reading
Google says it has filed about 300 takedowns related to this group trying to scam and deceive Google users around the world.
If you want to know how Google Bard is used and what artificial intelligence entails, don’t hesitate to visit this article we released a few weeks ago with so much care. It’s the definitive guide (or so we believe).
Google has filed lawsuits against two separate groups of scammers in an attempt to protect its users from malware using its chatbot Bard AI as bait and to set a legal precedent to assist others in combating scammers on the internet.
In a blog post, the company states it is pursuing those posing as Bard, as well as those abusing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
According to the report, the first group created Bard “applications” containing malware. Subsequently, the group would advertise these applications, using the malware to compromise victims’ social media accounts.
Google says it has filed around 300 takedown requests
“We are seeking an order that prevents scammers from creating domains like these and allows us to disable them with U.S. domain registrars,” Google states. “If successful, this will serve as a deterrent and provide a clear mechanism to prevent similar scams in the future.”
The second group created dozens of Google accounts and used them to file thousands of false copyright claims against their competitors, essentially abusing the DMCA.
As a result, over 100,000 websites owned by various companies were taken down, costing the victimized businesses millions of dollars and thousands of hours in lost employee time, Google explains.
“We hope that our lawsuit not only puts an end to this activity but also deters others and raises awareness of the damage that fraudulent takedowns can have on small businesses across the country,” it concludes.
Artificial intelligence holds enormous potential for good… but also for harm. There’s still a long way to go and a lot of work to be done.
