This panel’s experts will cover the use of the latest types of AI fraud in client onboarding and the risks AI poses to financial institutions by enabling the production of sophisticated fraudulent documentation at scale.
On the webinar, Colum Lyons shares that the speakers will explore “real case studies highlighting AI’s capabilities and emerging risks”.
“Expect to learn tested strategies for enhancing cybersecurity and compliance, as well as effective approaches to combating identity fraud,” he said.
Lyons adds that financial and compliance professionals who attend the webinar will receive a series of actionable steps allowing them to strengthen their fraud processes.
Keith Wojcieszek comments that while AI can be a powerful tool for fighting cybercrimes and detecting financial irregularities, its use also presents new regulatory challenges, particularly in the U.S. where the reports and instances of AI-fraud have increased dramatically.
“It’s critical to know how AI can be used effectively while navigating new AI-related rules proposed by the SEC,” he said.
“Compliance officers must take proactive steps to manage both the risks and opportunities AI poses to ensure robust protection against identity fraud and privacy issues.”
