Dr. Osama Mustafa, an expert in technology and information security, revealed that electronic betting applications are not just ordinary programs, but rather sophisticated systems designed in cooperation with psychological experts and relying on artificial intelligence (AI) to lure users and trap them in the snare of addiction.
In his interview on the "Studio Extra" program on "Extra News" channel, Dr. Mustafa stressed that the danger of these applications lies in their ability to analyze user behavior and direct customized messages to him.
Artificial intelligence analyzes your personality..
Dr. Mustafa said, "These games and apps are designed by a technical and psychological team. Artificial intelligence analyzes your personality and identifies your interests and what keeps you playing, then targets you with personalized messages and advertisements to entice you." He explained that this technology makes it difficult for users to resist these specially designed temptations.
Exploiting celebrities and Deep-Fake technology..
Mustafa pointed out that these platforms use deceptive marketing tactics to increase their reach, including employing celebrities and influencers to promote them. He warned that some of these advertisements may be fake and created using Deep-Fake technology with artificial intelligence.
He added: "You might see a famous person inviting you to join and promising you quick profits, but in reality the video may be completely fabricated, giving these platforms false credibility and making more victims fall prey to them."
A rapidly growing danger..
Mustafa concluded his remarks by emphasizing that this phenomenon is expanding rapidly due to the ease of access to applications and their spread across social media platforms, making it an increasingly dangerous threat to youth and society.
