Today, half of all crimes in Moscow are fraudulent, involving information technology and phone calls. Sergei Sobyanin announced this live on TV Center and Moscow 24.
"You have to be extremely careful. There are a lot of programs and number spoofing techniques out there. Someone might call you and think it's your friend, their number will show up, but in reality, it's a complete stranger. They can even fake your voice. So be careful, be careful," Sergei Sobyanin warned.
Deepfakes are created using artificial intelligence—people can receive phone calls claiming to be from the Moscow Mayor or law enforcement officials, such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Federal Security Service. In such cases, people should immediately end the conversation, call the police, and report the scam.
Sergei Sobyanin also expressed his opinion on artificial intelligence—whether it will be able to replace humans in the future.
"Yes, some sectors will be more productive, yes, there will be driverless vehicles, but creating and controlling driverless vehicles also requires a huge number of programmers, engineers, and so on. The segments themselves, the economic structure, and the labor structure will naturally change, but Muscovites will definitely not be left without work," the Moscow Mayor stated.
Sergei Sobyanin is confident that artificial intelligence is unlikely to radically change anything in the labor market, where there is currently a labor shortage.
