As artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated and cybercriminals more creative, it is becoming increasingly difficult to tell what is genuine and what is fraudulent.
Last Sunday, Wellthy Hub hosted an engaging three-hour session on ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ & ๐
๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐, with ๐๐จ๐ ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐จ๐ง (AI & IT Expert) and ๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก (Barrister-at-Law).
Together, we explored some of today's most important digital challenges, including:
โ๏ธ AI-generated scams, deepfakes and cybercrime.
โ
The growing difficulty of telling genuine messages and content from fraudulent ones.
โ๏ธ Online risks affecting children, families and older adults.
โ
The most common scams currently targeting people in Mauritius.
โ๏ธ Practical steps to stay safer online and what victims should do after a cyber incident.
โ
The legal and practical challenges of fighting cybercrime, including anonymous offenders and the difficulties of enforcing laws against global technology and social media platforms.
The session also explored ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐ง-๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ง ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐'๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ . As access to advanced AI cybersecurity models becomes increasingly restricted in several parts of the world, the discussion highlighted the importance of developing sovereign AI capabilities to help protect Africa's own digital infrastructure.
Founded by Cyberstorm.mu, the University of Mauritius, the University of Technology, Mauritius, and l'Universitรฉ des Mascareignes, Project Stormwing aims to strengthen Africa's defensive AI cybersecurity capabilities and technological resilience.
