Description
The Generative AI and Identity Fraud course explores the growing intersection between advanced generative technologies and evolving identity-based fraud threats. As fraudsters adopt AI-powered tools to create realistic fake identities, mimic voices and faces, and execute sophisticated social engineering attacks, fraud prevention professionals must adapt rapidly to defend the customer journey.
This course provides a deep dive into the techniques and technologies used to facilitate GenAI-powered identity fraud, including synthetic identity creation, deepfake impersonation, phishing campaigns, and fraudulent websites. Learners will learn how these tools bypass traditional verification systems and how emerging detection methods such as behavioral biometrics, device intelligence, and real-time analytics are evolving in response. The course also examines regulatory and ethical considerations, including transparency, fairness, and AI accountability.
