GenAI Enabled Fraud Threat Information Published by UKFIU
The UK Financial Intelligence Unit (UKFIU) published new information on the threat from Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) enabled fraud.
In the latest edition of its SARs in Action publication, the UKFIU highlights:
Large language models (LLMs), voice cloning, and deepfakes have made sophisticated tools more accessible to fraud offenders;
GenAI is highly likely to enhance the threat from investment fraud, romance fraud, impersonation enabled fraud and phishing attacks; and
Despite GenAI risks, broader AI technology has a wide range of applications that will increase opportunities for firms to detect and combat fraud.
UK firms with reporting obligations should review the latest publication in remaining up to date with new and ongoing fraud threats and their external reporting requirements.
