The alert highlights the ways AI generated text, video, audio, and images are used to commit fraud along with tips on how to protect yourself.
Key recommendations include:
- Creating a secret word of phrase with your friends or family;
- Never sharing sensitive information or sending money, gift cards, or cryptoassets to individuals you have only ever met online or on the phone;
- Looking and listening for subtle imperfections in images and audio to distinguish between legitimate and AI generated content;
- Limiting the online content of your image or voice to reduce fraudsters’ capabilities to create fraudulent identities; and
- Verifying the identity of the individual calling you by hanging up the phone, researching the number of the organization purported to be calling you, and calling back directly.
✅ Firms can review the alert to better understand how the use of AI is making financial fraud increasingly sophisticated.
