Staff training, clear internal procedures, and strong governance remain essential. Effective fraud prevention requires a holistic approach. It combines algorithmic detection with human intelligence. Responsible AI deployment is paramount.
The challenge for firms and regulators persists. Ensuring AI platforms are deployed responsibly is key. Preventing blind spots and automated decision over-reliance is vital.
