This has been getting some press, but it looks like it's just a small-scale publicity stunt that isn't actually available for people to use. There's no number we can forward scam calls to to connect them to this AI, and this isn't planned:

"Rather than be rolled out on a much wider scale, however, Valcarcel said the project was aimed at raising awareness."

probably can't really forward scam calls without also forwarding legit ones, at least not without being detectable.
