The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler has warned the public against AI and Crypto fraud. The meteoric rise in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and the growing frequency at which they are constantly launched has mandated the need for users to stay cautious.

Since the beginning of this year, AI firms have launched quite some models with the hope of making life easier for their users. In April, Sam Altman’s OpenAI, Google, and French AI startup Mistral revealed updated versions of their models. More AI tools have shown up since then including OpenAI’s newly released SearchGPT, which is designed to compete with Google search engine. 
Recently, the Sam Altman-led firm also made a significant update to <a href="https://coingape.com/sam-altmans-openai-reveals-major-update-for-chatgpt-plus-users/">ChatGPT</a>, adding a voice chatbot to the model. 
As these tools increased, the authorities beyond the US SEC Chair are also identifying the rise in AI-related crimes. Some fraudulent schemes misused AI technology to attract investors with promises of high returns. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Office of Customer Education and Outreach (OCEO) went as far as releasing a notice to discuss the matter.

Oftentimes, the perpetrator of these scams use AI-powered trading bots, signal algorithms, and crypto-asset arbitrage algorithms. At another time, they used deepfakes to impersonate top financial firm founders like Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor. 
Moreso, the creators of the AI tools are becoming more conscious about ensuring that their models are risk-free. A few weeks ago, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI launched the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) to address AI safety concerns. The CoSAI initiative is aimed at establishing robust security frameworks and standards for AI development and deployment. 
While the SEC increase its watch over the AI landscape, the regulator has began to show leniency toward crypto. At the same time, crypto behemoth are still bent on exposing the flaws of the <a href="https://coingape.com/top-lawyers-uncover-us-sec-litigation-tactic-in-binance-lawsuit/">SEC’s</a> administration.&nbsp;
