Subscribe to our channel
Fraud has always been a moving target, but artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules at a scale and speed we’ve never seen before. From voice-cloning scams that can fool your own family members, to deepfake identities used to open accounts, to AI-powered bots that can run thousands of phishing attempts in seconds, the landscape is shifting fast.
In this interactive session, we’ll swap stories and insights about the new wave of fraud we’re all encountering. Come and find out from your peers what they’re experiencing because you’re likely next. If it’s happening to them, it’s going to happen to you. The goal isn’t just to learn what’s out there, it’s to connect the dots together so we can stay one step ahead. Because if fraudsters are having fun with AI, we need to be just as innovative, and a lot smarter.
