The increasing sophistication of AI-based tools is transforming the landscape of online deception. Fraudsters have long relied on pre-scripted messages and structured manipulation techniques to exploit victims, but AI offers new opportunities to scale and refine these operations. Generative AI has already been exploited for various cyber-enabled crimes, and recent studies indicate that there is a growing interest in leveraging AI for social engineering and financial fraud. The development of industrialised romance fraud, as seen in large-scale scam networks in West Africa and Southeast Asia, indicates that AI could not only enable new fraudsters but further streamline existing operations. Yet while LLMs excel at identifying the procedural elements of romance fraud, they still struggle to sustain these deceptive patterns over extended interactions. This asymmetry creates a technical opportunity for defensive applications, particularly in detecting AI-generated content across the romance fraud lifecycle.
The method, ECCOLA, is presented, which aims at making the high-level AI ethics principles more practical, making it possible for developers to more easily implement them in practice.

AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering. The post Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering appeared first on GPT-Lab.
