What is fraud detection?

In short

Fraud detection uses AI to spot suspicious transactions or behaviour by learning what normal activity looks like and flagging what deviates. Used in finance, insurance and e-commerce. A payment provider can block a card purchase that doesn't fit a customer's pattern within milliseconds, stopping losses while letting genuine transactions through without annoying honest customers.
