How AI is changing business for better and worse

Artificial intelligence isn't just about robots doing cool things anymore. It's becoming a regular part of how companies work - both for good and bad. A tech expert recently explained to a local business group how AI helps companies run smoother and faster. At the same time, it's giving scammers new ways to trick people out of money.The same technology that can write emails in seconds can also fake voices to sound like your boss asking for urgent money transfers. What used to be obvious scams now look real because AI makes them too perfect. Deepfake videos that seem to show real people saying things they never did are becoming harder to spot. Companies need to stay sharp to avoid getting caught in these traps. Simple things like double-checking unusual requests can make a big difference. The speaker shared that even basic steps like calling back on a known number can stop many scams before they start.
