ChatGPT becomes a police officer, assisting in tracking the flow of cryptocurrency funds! PTT Netizens: Where is the Digital Currency Department?

According to a report by ETtoday, a recent fraud case involving a "counterfeit currency merchant" investigated by the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors Office, Kaohsiung City Criminal Investigation Bureau, and Criminal Investigation Bureau Nan Da, was successfully traced in terms of cryptocurrency flow with the guidance of ChatGPT, becoming the first cryptocurrency crime case to be cracked with the assistance of AI.

ChatGPT Assists in Solving Cryptocurrency Scam Case

Reports indicate that this scam case involves tens of millions in cryptocurrency transactions, posing a significant challenge for law enforcement officials with limited knowledge of blockchain and coding. The numerous transactions on the blockchain involving withdrawals and transfers further complicate the investigation.

However, with a brilliant idea from Prosecutor Lu Shang-en, the police began using ChatGPT to assist in the investigation. With the guidance of ChatGPT, the police were able to extract useful information, debug, understand data processing methods, and clarify programming language logic. Through continuous learning, after six months of effort, they finally cracked the case.

The success of this case can be attributed to the continuous development of AI, allowing the cold and complex programming language and blockchain logic to be understood in plain language by individuals without relevant backgrounds. This case also marks the first scam case cracked with the help of ChatGPT.
