American lawmakers are pressing tech giants to take stronger action against AI-powered fraud schemes that have been targeting users at scale.

The bipartisan call comes as artificial intelligence tools are increasingly weaponized for sophisticated scams—from deepfake impersonations to automated phishing campaigns. What makes these particularly dangerous in financial contexts is how difficult they are to detect, especially when deployed against exchanges, DeFi platforms, and regular traders.

The message is clear: tech companies can't stay on the sidelines while bad actors exploit AI capabilities. It's not just about consumer protection anymore—it's about maintaining trust in digital platforms and financial infrastructure.

For the crypto community especially, this matters. Trading platforms and blockchain-based applications are prime targets for such schemes. The pressure on tech firms to implement better detection systems, verification protocols, and user education could actually strengthen security across the entire Web3 ecosystem.

Better AI safeguards now might mean fewer losses for users and greater legitimacy for the industry down the line.

Honestly, deepfake technology is now starting to target exchanges? Why do I feel like I'm a step late...

AI scams are really damn outrageous. Deepfake can already deceive people, so how are we supposed to play?

Politicians are starting to show muscle again, but do the tech giants really listen? --- The deepfake techniques have been overused in the wild crypto circle for a long time; why are they only calling it out now? It's two years too late. --- Instead of waiting for regulation, it's better to improve risk control ourselves. In the crypto world, losses are often due to our own carelessness. --- Haha, it sounds nice, but in the end, it's still the users who bear the risk. --- Web3 needs this kind of pressure, but don't expect to be completely protected; it's always a game of spears and shields. --- The real problem is that detection always lags behind attack methods, and writing it into law is useless.

Nah, here comes the regulation again. Every time it's deepfake, deepfake, but the real issue is that the exchange's own risk control is also weak.
