Whether we like it or not, AI technology is rapidly advancing and while regulation is slowly catching up, we're still in a 'Wild West' era ripe for scams. One of the most recent cautionary tales is about a woman who fell in love with an AI Brad Pitt – little did she know her whirlwind romance would cost her over €800,000.

This scammer pretended to be Brad Pitt by using AI-generated videos, edited photos and scammed a woman out of over $855,000 with full-blown romance.

A representative for Brad Pitt has reacted to the viral story of a French woman who was conned out of her life savings by someone pretending to be the famous actor.
