Master the critical frameworks to manage risk, eliminate bias, and ensure regulatory compliance when deploying artificial intelligence for modern fraud investigations.
AI is now embedded across fraud detection, financial crime monitoring, and internal investigative workflows, shaping how organisations identify anomalies, prioritise alerts, and assess evidence. However, these systems also introduce new forms of risk that traditional fraud controls were not designed to manage — including opaque model behaviour, biased or incomplete training data, synthetic or manipulated inputs, and automated outputs that may be difficult to explain or defend under regulatory or legal scrutiny.
This session examines the practical realities of using AI in fraud detection and investigations, focusing on how professionals can evaluate system reliability, challenge automated outputs, and maintain defensible investigative processes. It also explores how emerging governance frameworks — including the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act — are shaping expectations around transparency, oversight, documentation, and accountability in AI-driven decision-making environments.

My name is Paul Starrett and I am here to assist the investigative community in whatever way I can! I have just the right background to do so. I am a licensed private investigator and attorney who has performed thousands of interviews on major cases over a period of decades. I also have an exceptional technical background (prior engineer with a technical master’s degree). I am a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). I am the author of the Investigative Interviewer's Guidebook, now in its 25th year of publication. Previously, this book was used as a college text for decades.
