Jarod Koopman, executive director of cyber and forensics at the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation, said IRS-CI is exploring the use of artificial intelligence as it tries to keep up with criminals who leverage AI tools to introduce more fraud schemes, Federal News Network reported Wednesday. “What used to take a significant amount of effort, going into some type of a social media-type exploit or a hack, they can now do this with AI that’s much more efficient, much more effective, and certainly much more volume at high speed,” Koopman said of fraudsters.
According to the IRS-CI official, his agency is using AI to better optimize the data already available to its personnel, including third-party data from other financial institutions and operational data from ongoing and previous casework.
