O2’s Daisy, an AI grandma, cleverly disrupts scammers by engaging them in pointless conversations about scones and nostalgia, wasting their time for up to 40 minutes. Developed by the British telecommunications provider, Daisy uses real scam call data to recognize and counter manipulation tactics, frustrating scammers with polite confusion and small talk. Despite some scammers catching on, Daisy’s success in wasting their time not only thwarts their operations but also raises awareness about scamming. While there are no immediate plans for a larger rollout, the experiment highlights the potential of AI in combating fraud, with future versions of Daisy possibly featuring diverse accents and personalities to enhance effectiveness.
