Fighting Fraud with AI in Telecom and Insurance
By David Armaah
Fraud remains a growing challenge across industries, especially in telecom and insurance. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), organizations lose approximately 5% of their revenue to fraud each year, amounting to trillions globally. In the telecom sector, fraud costs operators an estimated $39 billion annually, while in insurance, fraudulent claims are responsible for over $80 billion in yearly losses in the United States alone.
Fraudsters continuously adapt their methods, exploiting system vulnerabilities and leveraging sophisticated tactics. Traditional fraud detection systems, reliant on predefined rules, often fall short in keeping up with these evolving threats.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing how companies detect and prevent fraud. By analyzing patterns, predicting anomalies, and automating responses, AI-driven solutions empower businesses to tackle fraud more effectively than ever before. Today, we spotlight two innovative startups transforming fraud detection in these sectors.
