生成式AI正催生新型金融犯罪，需发展协同对抗的智能防御体系。

Adoption of AI by criminal entities across traditional and emerging financial crime paradigms has been a disturbing recent trend. Particularly concerning is the proliferation of generative AI, which has empowered criminal activities ranging from sophisticated phishing schemes to the creation of hard-to-detect deep fakes, and to advanced spoofing attacks to biometric authentication systems. The exploitation of AI by criminal purposes continues to escalate, presenting an unprecedented challenge. AI adoption causes an increasingly complex landscape of fraud typologies intertwined with cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Overall, GenAI has a transformative effect on financial crimes and fraud. According to some estimates, GenAI will quadruple the fraud losses by 2027 with a staggering annual growth rate of over 30% [27]. As crime patterns become more intricate, personalized, and elusive, deploying effective defensive AI strategies becomes indispensable. However, several challenges hinder the necessary progress of AI-based fincrime detection systems. This paper examines the latest trends in AI/ML-driven financial crimes and detection systems. It underscores the urgent need for developing agile AI defenses that can effectively counteract the rapidly emerging threats. It also aims to highlight the need for cooperation across the financial services industry to tackle the GenAI induced crime waves.
