AI-generated faces, videos, and documents are making fraud harder to catch fast. Download the guide for practical detection methods and layered defenses...

Deepfakes and synthetic media are now showing up in everyday fraud queues. Attackers are using AI to generate faces, documents, and videos that look real enough to pass basic checks, and they are using them across onboarding, liveness, support calls, and claims. These tools are getting easier to use, faster to run, and harder to spot by eye.
But most fraud and AML systems were never built to detect AI-generated content. Legacy controls look for low-effort spoofs, not high-quality synthetic faces or injected video streams. As deepfakes get better, manual review becomes slower and less reliable, and gaps in KYC, job interviews, and support calls become easier to exploit.
This guide breaks down:
Different types of deepfakes and how they work
Where they show up across onboarding, payments, scams, and disputes
The myths that mislead risk teams, and what signals matter instead
Practical detection techniques your team can use today
