Platforms like Klippa DocHorizon use AI to streamline tasks like data entry, classification, and validation, freeing up finance professionals to focus on insights, strategy, and growth. As automation transforms the back office, finance pros are shifting from number crunchers to business enablers.

How banks can fight back AI fraud

Artificial intelligence is reshaping banking—from automating services to personalizing customer experiences. But AI’s power cuts both ways. Cybercriminals are now leveraging AI to design more advanced fraud schemes, making detection harder than ever.

As this AI arms race escalates, financial institutions must adapt quickly. That means deploying smarter fraud detection systems, investing in AI threat modeling, and training teams to spot emerging risks. Staying ahead of AI-driven fraud requires an equally intelligent defense.
