Google Takes Legal Action Against Scammers Exploiting Bard AI for Malicious Purposes

Google has filed a lawsuit against unknown scammers in Vietnam who used fake ads for its Bard artificial intelligence chatbot to steal social media login credentials. The scammers targeted small businesses and users with business and advertiser accounts on a social media platform. Google is seeking an order to stop the scammers and wants the ability to disable fake pages with U.S. domain registrars. If successful, this lawsuit could set a precedent for other tech companies to protect users against AI-related scams.
