Harness the power of AI to enhance detection and streamline investigations while navigating the critical legal and ethical standards for court admissibility.
Fraud investigations now involve vast datasets, increasingly complex schemes, and tighter expectations around speed and defensibility. Artificial intelligence offers powerful new ways to identify anomalies, surface hidden relationships, and focus investigative effort—but only when used with appropriate controls and professional judgement.
This practical session explores how AI can be applied across the fraud investigation lifecycle, from early detection and triage through to analysis and case development. Using real-world scenarios and interactive discussion, participants will examine where AI genuinely adds value, where it introduces risk, and how to integrate it responsibly into investigative work.
The session is designed for professionals who want practical insight—not theory—into using AI as an investigative tool while maintaining ethical standards and defensible outcomes.
