    How AI Is Transforming Cybersecurity... and Cybercrime

    Remember those phishing emails you used to get from Nigerian princes? Well now they're written in perfect grammar by generative AI, look real, and hit inboxes by the millions. Oh, and that video of your boss asking you to run down to Walgreens and buy hundreds of dollars of gift cards for clients? It looks like the CEO. It sounds like the CEO.
