The US Treasury Department issued a warning about how artificial intelligence is facilitating more intricate and sophisticated fraudulent activities targeting financial institutions. The report highlighted that AI developments are enabling fraudsters to realistically imitate voice or video to impersonate customers and gain access to accounts, as well as to create more sophisticated email phishing attacks with improved formatting and reduced typos. These advancements in AI have significantly increased the risks and challenges faced by financial firms to combat fraud. The Treasury's emphasis on the escalating threats underscores the urgency to develop robust measures to counter these evolving tactics.
