80: “Dark Side of the Boom” Author Patrick Coughlin on AI Scams
AI didn't just change how we work — it changed how we get scammed. Savi Security co-founder and CEO Patrick Coughlin's mother nearly fell for an AI voice-cloning "kidnapping" scam targeting his sister. That call led to him writing the book, "Dark Side of the Boom.” Host Tammy Haddad talks with Coughlin about why digital fraud is now the fastest-growing crime in America, and what Washington isn't doing about it.
