Solution Overview

Problem

Current fraud detection policies are costly, generalized, and prone to update delays, often neglecting isolated instances of missed fraud, with underlying rules being difficult to derive and modify, leading to inefficiencies and ineffective detection.

Innovation Solution

An AI-based method for automatic fraud detection policy development that extracts features from client data, classifies fraudulent activity, and develops policy rules to create and modify fraud detection models without the need for manual analysis by fraud analysts, allowing for better understanding and updating of policy rules based on missed fraud.

AI summary

A method of AI based automatic fraud detection policy development is provided. The method includes obtaining client data associated with a plurality of digital accounts. The obtained client data for each of the plurality of digital accounts includes at least one of legitimate activity and fraudulent activity. Features are extracted from the obtained client data. Fraudulent activity is classified in the obtained data. Policy rules associated with the classified fraudulent activity are extracted based on the extracted features. A policy model is developed based on the extracted policy rules.
