Resolves YES if there is an attempt made to scam someone that I personally know, by a technique made possible by generative AI by EoY 2026, and I learn about it.

The scam attempt can use voice generation, video generation, or any similar form of analog AI based generation. The scammer must attempt to extract something (money/resources/info). The attempt need not be successful.

The scam must target this individual specifically, by eg. faking voice of a friend, as opposed to eg. a mass circulated deepfake with a famous personality requesting money be sent to a bitcoin wallet.

I'll only resolve positively if the target is someone I know in a personal capacity (friends/family/colleagues/etc).

Resolves NO if I learn of no such scam by EoY 2026.

There may be some subjective calls in the resolution of this market so I will not bet (I will resolve YES only if I'm 98%+ sure that it happened).
