The number of fraud cases reported by banks has increased significantly due to the rise of digital technologies. Fraudsters are using advanced AI-driven methods, such as deep fakes, to commit identity theft and manipulate digital media. Financial institutions need to adapt and modify their approaches in response to these ever-changing digital fraud tactics. They should strategically digitize their processes and leverage technologies like AI, data analytics, and machine learning to detect and prevent fraud effectively. Financial institutions should also focus on improving identity verification processes, implementing advanced authentication mechanisms, and enhancing security awareness through training. Implementing "Guardian AI" can offer a promising solution to enhance digital trust and improve fraud detection capabilities. Striking a delicate balance between digitalization and fraud prevention is crucial for financial institutions to maintain resilience and trust in the digital world.
