Do you feel like technology is moving faster than you can keep up? You aren’t alone. In the age of Artificial Intelligence, online scams have graduated from bad spelling and obvious tricks to hyper-realistic voice cloning and sophisticated "digital twins." The old rules of internet safety no longer apply, and "I have nothing to hide" is no longer a safety plan.

In this first session, we will cut through the technical jargon and provide a plain-English diagnosis of the current digital landscape.

What you will learn:

1. The new threat: how to spot AI-generated scams, from "grandparent voice cloning" to fake emails that look 100% real.
2. The diagnosis: simple tests to check if your passwords and accounts are vulnerable.
3. The prescription: 5 practical, non-technical habits you can adopt today to lock your digital doors.
4. Privacy first: how to use modern tools without feeding your personal data to the AI giants.
