In digital finance, artificial intelligence is dual-use: institutions can apply it to detect and prevent fraud, while criminals can use it to generate convincing phishing emails, synthetic identities, and complex schemes at scale. Fraud defense must account for adversaries whose capabilities also change with AI. section 7.0
Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
How Financial AI in Practice covers it
- How deep it goes
- Positions AI as a fraud-defense opportunity and threat, but stops before detailing models or implementation.
- Examples
- Names AI-generated phishing emails, synthetic identities, and complex fraud schemes as adversarial uses.
- What you can do after
- Understand how AI can help protect financial systems and how adversaries can exploit it.
- How it connects
- Connects AI with financial fraud, fraud detection, phishing, and synthetic identity generation.
