Join RSM’s Natalie Nelson-Newman and Professor Claire Hardaker for an engaging discussion on how criminals are using AI to target individuals and organisations, and why human judgement remains one of the most important defences.

This practical session will explore the human side of AI-enabled fraud, help attendees understand the tools available to fraudsters and demonstrate just how convincing AI-generated content can be. We’ll look at how reliable some of the commonly cited “tells” really are, and share a few simple, low-cost and no-cost strategies to make you and your organisation harder targets for would-be fraudsters.

The webinar will include Claire’s interactive “Bot or Not?” challenge, testing whether attendees can distinguish genuine from AI-generated content in today’s fast-moving digital environment.

This webinar is CPD accredited and forms part of RSM’s International Fraud Awareness Week programme.

Explore the full series to gain insights from experts across fraud, technology, risk and corporate crime throughout the week. If you have any questions about the event please contact Sarah Sabin.
