Phishing

A message that pretends to come from a bank, a government office or someone close to you in order to get a password, a code or a payment. With AI, these messages no longer contain mistakes and can be personalised at scale: you no longer spot them by their spelling, but by the unusual request and the sense of urgency.

In other words

An angler casting thousands of hooks at once: AI now lets them pick the bait each fish likes.
