Analysis: AI hasn't replaced scammers' jobs; instead, it has given them "superpowers," potentially increasing their illicit income by 4.5 times.
CryptoSlate analysis indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) technology makes scam activities cheaper and larger in scale. Chainalysis research found that scam operations linked to AI providers had an average on-chain revenue of $3.2 million, 4.5 times higher than operations not linked to AI. The FBI's 2025 Internet Crime Complaint Center report showed 22,364 AI-related complaints, with adjusted losses of approximately $893.3 million. Anthropic's August 2025 report also documented AI models being used for extortion, with demands sometimes exceeding $500,000. FATF President Giles Thomson stated that AI enables a small number of individuals to carry out scam work that previously required large teams.
