AI has supercharged cyber fraud globally, with India losing over ₹52,976 crore to cybercrime in six years. But experts at the AI Impact Summit argue that the same technology, when deployed as infrastructure rather than a tool, could provide real-time fraud prevention. The challenge lies in building AI-enabled detection systems that match the speed and sophistication of attacks.
