CBI to Launch AI Chatbot 'Abhay' to Verify Notices Amid Digital Arrest Scams

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will launch 'Abhay', an AI-powered chatbot, to help the public verify the authenticity of notices purportedly issued by the agency amid rising digital arrest scams. The chatbot will be unveiled by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant during the 22nd D P Kohli Memorial Lecture, where he will also address cybercrime challenges and confer medals. Scammers have been using fake CBI notices to extort crores, with the Supreme Court highlighting Rs 54,000 crore lost to cyber frauds.
