The ”Battlefront: Fraud in the Age of AI” event, hosted by the Alliance for Innovative Regulation (AIR) with support from the American FinTech Council (AFC) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), took place in Washington, D.C. on June 23-24, 2025. It convened over 100 in-person and virtual experts from banking, fintech, crypto, cybersecurity, law enforcement, academia, technology, and policy development to confront the growing threat of AI-enabled fraud.
Participants tackled real-world fraud challenges shaped by AI’s evolving capabilities, uncovering emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and opportunities for defense.
Key areas of focus included:
📺 Deepfake-enabled scams in traditional finance, crypto, and public payment systems
📺 GenAI-powered social engineering, ransomware, and Trojan attacks
📺 AI-generated synthetic identities targeting public sector programs
📺 Consumer-facing GenAI bots for decentralized defense
📺 Agentive/agentic AI in post-fraud response, asset tracing and recovery, and redress.
AIR will continue refining its approach to convene the ecosystem and identify solutions to combat global financial fraud. Activities may include co-hosting a virtual roundtable, podcast, and international events. AIR will also continue to work closely with partners to explore fraud policy and regulation, and to host Battlefront-style events and technology showcases to ensure regulators, industry, and global stakeholders remain informed about emerging technologies and better equipped to counter evolving fraud threats. Organizations interested in partnering with AIR are encouraged to get in touch.
