penAI has shared a new Disrupting Malicious Uses of AI: October 2025 report, which reveals that its chatbot is being used far more often to detect scams instead of creating them. This finding is one of the most common fears around artificial intelligence on its head.
According to the report, ChatGPT is now used three times more frequently to identify scams than to run them. While some fraudsters have tried to use AI tools to translate messages or craft more convincing pitches, far more people are turning to the same technology to check suspicious texts, emails, and job offers before falling for them.
