Claudia KP<p>Just when you thought the job market couldn't get any weirder. </p><p>We've all heard of fake jobs and phishing attempts. But did you know there are also fake job seekers who use AI to mask their real identity?</p><p>"Scammers can use AI at almost every step in the job application process to hide their true identities. They can generate fake resumes, professional headshots, websites and LinkedIn profiles. Compiled together, AI can help create what looks like the perfect candidate for an open role. Once they're in, these fraudsters can steal company secrets or install malware.
