The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will launch an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot named 'Abhay' to help people verify the authenticity of notices issued to them.

The AI-powered notice verification chatbot will allow the public to verify the genuineness of a notice purportedly issued by the CBI.

In a number of cases, scammers posing as CBI officials have coerced the public by showing fraudulent notices, holding the victim hostage in the name of digital arrest and extorting crores of rupees.

The Supreme Court had recently flagged that ₹54,000 crore was siphoned off by cyber criminals in various scams.
