An Israeli startup has provided a useful tool for free
Cyabra became famous in 2022 when it established cooperation with Elon Musk. The billionaire asked the startup to assess the prevalence of bots and spam on Twitter, which he was still planning to buy at the time. Now Cyabra has decided to help ordinary Internet users who want to know whether they are dealing with the work of man or artificial intelligence.
The Botbusters.ai tool, which itself uses the achievements of artificial intelligence, is able to analyze and recognize texts written by artificial intelligence as well as photos and videos generated by it. In addition, botbusters.ai may recognize artificially created social media profiles or accounts run by bots and spam.
As revealed by Dan Brahmy, director of the startup Cyabra, the three most widespread types of bot activity faced by the company’s specialists are corporate impersonation, government-sponsored bots pursuing specific geopolitical goals, and the seemingly random creation of chaos aimed at diverting attention from something another.
Botbusters.ai will detect accounts that are impersonating real ones
The company also detects many cases of impersonating key employees of large corporations – presidents, directors or board members. The trick is to create the right social media accounts and come up with a story that is both interesting and provocative. The head of Cyabra also explains that some target lower-level employees, in this way trying, for example, to gain access to privileged information or data.
Such activity of bots using the latest achievements of artificial intelligence can be extremely dangerous. For example, according to Fox Business, a fake Eli Lilly account was created in late 2022 that allegedly gave away free insulin. The shares of the real company fell before it became clear that the post was crafted by scammers.
