AI is reshaping not only how fraud is committed, but how businesses establish trust. As documents, identities, voices and even video interactions can be convincingly fabricated, traditional controls are facing a new challenge: proving that what appears genuine is actually real. In this interview with Business Time, Sabuhi Abilhasanli explores the growing risks of AI-powered fraud, including deepfakes, synthetic identities and AI-generated documents, and what these developments mean for businesses in Azerbaijan. The discussion also looks at why conventional verification methods may no longer be sufficient and how AI and data analytics can help organizations detect emerging patterns of fraud. Sabuhi also discusses the evolution of audit from periodic validation towards more continuous, technology-enabled risk intelligence. The interview highlights how organizations can strengthen their controls and governance while maintaining trust in increasingly digital business environments.
