We don't think so, for reasons our CEO and Co-Founder Naftali Harris explains in this post. But GenAI is going to empower fraudsters in other meaningful ways. Here's what we expect to see, and how we think businesses can combat the use of generative AI in fraud:

Every Thursday, everyone at SentiLink drops what they're doing and spends an hour manually reviewing fraud cases. This includes all ~100 of us--not just our Fraud Intelligence Team, but also our engineers, sales team, accountants, recruiters... even our CEO. Each week has a "theme": we've explored scams, business takeovers, synthetic identities, deceased individuals, and more. But why do we invest so much time into this? Why constantly pull everyone away from their work to manually label just a tiny subset of the million transactions our products help automatically decision each day? We do fraud patrol because we believe that the only way to build great fraud products is to truly understand fraud. And we believe the only way to really understand fraud is to dive deep into fraud cases. In fact, this belief is so core to us that we made Deep Understanding one of our four corporate values. And now you can ride along and review fraud cases with us too. Sign up here and we'll walk through some fraud cases with you! https://lnkd.in/exs6NSSF
