Story

The report flags emotional-dependency cultivation and "capability deception," arriving right as the compliance deadlines above land. Expect this to feed regulatory scrutiny of consumer-chatbot UX. It connects to the Bank of England's warning about a deepfake of its governor pushing financial scams on X. Synthetic media as an active fraud vector, not a hypothetical.
