A Matter Of Trust: How Ai Is Reshaping Risk Assessment

Financial services institutions have long relied on machine learning for risk management, but the threat landscape has grown exponentially in the age of generative artificial intelligence (AI), according to executives from Capital One, Visa and Alloy. Fraudsters now have access to AI tools, including synthetic identity generation and real-time phishing attacks, they said. But AI is also arming companies to supercharge their defensive capabilities, since trust and security are the foundation of financial transactions. “Trust is the very foundation of commerce,” said Rajat Taneja, president of technology at Visa. “When two unknown parties are transacting, they have to trust that the transaction will occur correctly, the money will be transferred properly, any dispute will be managed, and there’s someone handling fraud and scams.”
