An international policing context reports that AI-powered financial fraud schemes are about 4.5 times more profitable than non-AI schemes, with AI boosting efficiency and acting as a force multiplier for criminal operations.
Interpol estimates that financial fraud schemes that use artificial intelligence are 4.5 times more profitable than those that do not.
The international police agency said AI "greatly boosts both efficiency and …" and linked that boost to the higher returns seen in its comparison of AI‑assisted and non‑AI schemes.
The finding frames AI not as a neutral productivity tool but as a force multiplier for criminal operations, increasing criminals' capacity to extract value from financial scams, according to Interpol's estimates.
