At first glance, Daisy looks like your stereotypical grandmother: She loves knitting and talking about her family, has a cat named Fluffy, is technologically inept and has plenty of time to shoot the breeze.

乍看之下，黛西看似有如你家的典型阿嬤：她喜歡編織與聊她的家人，有隻名叫「毛毛」的貓，對科技一竅不通，但有大把時間閒聊。

But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find her to be exceptionally tech-enabled, with a few cunning tricks up her sleeve.

但再深究些，你會發現她很懂得使用科技，還有一些聰明的錦囊妙計。

That’s because Daisy is a conversational artificial intelligence chatbot created by British mobile phone company O2 to help combat fraud by tricking phone scammers into thinking they are speaking to a real person.

這是因為黛西是英國行動電話公司O2創造的對話式人工智慧聊天機器人，旨在透過讓電話詐騙集團成員誤以為正與真人交談，以協助打擊詐騙。

Daisy’s mission, according to O2, “is to talk with fraudsters and waste as much of their time as possible with human-like rambling chat to keep them away from real people.”

根據O2，黛西的任務是「與欺詐犯談話，以類似真人的漫談來盡可能多浪費他們的時間，以避免他們與真人接觸。」
