While artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way banks detect and prevent fraudulent activities, human intuition plays a vital role in understanding the nuances, context, and behavioral patterns that AI algorithms might miss. Basically, banks should not lean completely on AI when it comes to fraud, at least right now. It is tempting to lean completely on that technology and let our guard down. We still need to know our customers and if they are in commercial banking, we should know our customer’s customers.
AI is powerful and should be leveraged, but there are four reasons why we shouldn’t prop ourselves up on it completely just yet.
By integrating human intuition into the fraud detection process, banks can leverage the expertise of fraud analysts who can apply their contextual understanding to identify sophisticated fraud schemes.
Human intuition is crucial in refining and validating AI models by identifying false positives, false negatives, and emerging trends.
Fraud detection is not a purely technical challenge; it also involves understanding the ethical and behavioral aspects of transactions.
For best results, create a culture that combines the strengths of AI and human intuition in a collaborative framework. By fostering a human-centric approach, banks can establish cross-functional teams that include AI specialists, fraud analysts, investigators, and other stakeholders.
AI is not the end all, be all yet. Don’t get me wrong, it is revolutionary. However, let’s use it as a tool of many, not the only one.
