Fireside Chat: AI Hype, Fraud Reality, and the Fixes That Actually Work

Most conversations about fraud either overcomplicate the tech or overlook what’s happening on the ground. This one skips the noise and gets real.

Join Darren Thomas, Director of Data Solutions at Point Predictive, Justin Davis, Vice President of Product at Point Predictive, and Nathan George, Head of North America Partnerships at GDS Link, for a fireside chat built around what lenders are really dealing with today—from synthetic identities and fake documents to how fraudsters are now using AI better than some lenders.

You’ll get a clear breakdown of how machine learning fits into daily fraud prevention, why generative AI creates new risks, and what to watch for in digital and face-to-face channels. The conversation also covers how to test fraud solutions effectively, reduce friction, and measure what’s working without slowing down your process or frustrating your team.
