• AI generated documents, should we be concerned?

  In this episode of Good Question, we explore a fast-emerging challenge in fraud detection: AI-generated documents. Recent updates to ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities have introduced powerful new tools for fraudsters.

We cover:- How autoregressive image models work (and why they’re more convincing than ever)- Which types of documents are easiest to fake (and which still pose challenges for AI)- What forensic and semantic signals Inscribe uses to detect synthetic documents- How Inscribe’s AI agents are evolving to stay ahead of this threat- Why this isn’t hype — but also not a panic momentFrom synthetic receipts to near-realistic invoices, this episode explores what’s real, what’s hype, and what’s coming next in the arms race between generative AI and fraud detection.#GenerativeAI #DocumentFraud #fintechpodcast #Fintech #FraudDetection #LLMs #genai #RiskManagement
