Interpol
SINGAPORE – INTERPOL has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the growing risk posed by crime that uses AI-generated or AI-altered media to scam members of the public. The campaign features three short videos, themselves AI-generated, depicting how synthetic media, commonly known as ‘deepfakes’, can be used in scams. Generative AI applications and the large language models that power them are becoming more sophisticated by the day, no longer requiring significant technical skills or investment. As well as creating hyper realistic avatars with human-like language skills, these tools can now convincingly reproduce the face or voice of a real person using a small amount of content found online.
FinCEN
The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced today that its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has identified approximately $270 million in suspicious financial activity potentially linked to fraud against federal student aid programs. FinCEN has referred these findings to federal investigators to pursue potential fraud schemes targeting federal student aid programs and help ensure those responsible are held accountable. These referrals underscore the Trump Administration’s commitment to eliminating fraud, protecting taxpayers, and safeguarding the integrity of federal student aid programs.
