The tools of the would-be expenses fraudster used to be pretty low-tech: a photocopier and a bottle of correction fluid; a few blank taxi receipts supplied by an obliging cabbie. These days, things have become both more sophisticated, and simpler. As the Financial Times reported this week, the advent of image-generating artificial intelligence has led to an influx of AI-produced fake receipts that are fuelling expenses fraud. They come complete with authentic-looking logos, addresses and line items, even simulated creases and coffee stains.
过去,企图报销造假的人手段相当原始:一台复印机和一瓶修正液;再加上几张由热心的出租车司机提供的空白车票。如今,手法既更“高级”,又更容易。正如英国《金融时报》本周报道的那样,图像生成式人工智能的出现,催生了大量由AI生成的假发票,正在助长报销欺诈。这些假发票配有仿真的商标、地址和明细,甚至还模拟了折痕和咖啡渍。
