        <title>What is dark AI? How it works, what it looks like, and how to stay safe</title>
        <description>Dark AI refers to the malicious use of artificial intelligence (AI) to deceive people, steal data, automate cyberattacks, or bypass security systems. The term is gaining attention because generative AI makes it easy for criminals to run convincing scams, impersonate real people, and scale attacks. A scammer can use AI to write a polished phishing email in seconds. A fraudster can create a fake video without a full production team. A criminal group can also generate hundreds of scam variations and test them across different targets. In this guide, we’ll explain how dark AI works, show examples, and share practical steps you can take to protect yourself.</description>

        <title>“I have nothing to hide” — why privacy is about security, not secrets</title>
        <description>Most people don&apos;t think about online privacy until something goes wrong. A friend gets a loan taken out in their name. A colleague&apos;s old photos end up somewhere they shouldn&apos;t be. That&apos;s the pattern: privacy feels like a problem for other people, right up until it&apos;s your problem. And by then, your options have narrowed. Your data is already out there, copied or sold more times than anyone can count.</description>
