Recently, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) introduced the AI-based “ABHAY” system to enable citizens to check whether notices issued in the name of the agency are genuine and to curb online frauds.
About ABHAY System
- ABHAY stands for “AI-Based Helpbot for Authentication of Your Notice”.
- The platform aims to protect citizens from fake notices, impersonation fraud and “digital arrest” scams.
- The system was developed to counter the growing misuse of fake law-enforcement documents, AI-generated content and deepfake technology by cybercriminals.
- It is India’s first real-time notice verification platform designed to tackle cyber-enabled fraud.
- Users can upload scanned copies of suspicious notices after OTP-based verification.
- The AI system then identifies whether the notice is genuine or fraudulent.
- The service remains available round the clock through the official CBI website and the ABHAY Verification Platform.
