What AI exposes you to (and why it helps to know)
Scammers already use artificial intelligence. Knowing their tricks is the best defence.
Cloned voices
With a few seconds of audio, AI mimics the voice of a child or grandchild to ask you for money over a fake emergency.
Flawless messages
Phishing emails and texts with no mistakes, looking like your bank or the government.
Fake videos
Deepfakes impersonating doctors, authorities or well-known people to deceive you.
Scam or not? Try it with four messages
They are made-up examples, but they copy the frauds that INCIBE, Spain's cybersecurity institute, warns about. Read each message and decide. Then we mark the phrases that give it away.
Message 1 of 4
Hi Mum, my phone broke and this is my new number. I need to pay a bill today and I can't get into my bank. Can you send me some money by Bizum? I'll pay you back tomorrow.
What do you think?
What you take from the workshop
In a friendly, jargon-free session with real examples.
Self-defence rules
A family code word, verify through another channel, never give data by phone. Simple things that work.
AI on your side
How to use it for summaries, reminders, translation or questions, without depending on anyone.
Losing the fear
Understanding what AI is and is not, to use your phone and digital services safely.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to bring a phone or computer?
Not essential. You may bring your phone to practise if you wish, but the workshop makes sense without any device.
Who can organise it?
It is contracted by town councils, senior centres, community centres or associations. If you are an interested individual, tell us and we will point you in the right direction.
Is it only about dangers?
No. Half the workshop is about learning to use AI for what genuinely helps, with confidence.
How is it booked?
Write to us and we will prepare a tailored proposal for your organisation, with municipal funding options.
