AI-Driven Fraud and Deepfakes: A Threat to Financial Trust

1Introduction

In its October 2025 report on monitoring AI adoption, the FSB notes that AI-driven fraud and disinformation could erode trust, amplify volatility and potentially trigger events such as flash crashes or bank runs.

2Discussion

Examples include deepfakes, synthetic identities and fraudulent claims. The FSB encourages authorities to assess how prepared institutions are, including their use of AI tools that detect anomalies, flag suspicious transactions and prevent fraud.

3Conclusion

The report also notes rapid change since 2024: more advanced models, new providers and greater control of the AI supply chain by a few global technology firms, making continuous monitoring and cooperation more important.
