AI and Benefit Cheats

Benefit cheats are now using AI to fool the Department of Work and Pensions.

There are tools and bots designed to exaggerate conditions, complete the forms (often with no face to-face check).

Interestingly, in the work I do, suddenly “fog brain” has appeared for those who get caught.

This is a completely new word but has now spread like wildfire. Everybody has great anxiety and depression, but also “fog brain”. Funny that.
