Harnessing AI to Enhance Security in Digital Payments: Detection of High-Risk Users and Mitigation of Financial Crime
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Digital Payments, Fraud Detection, High-Risk Users, Financial CrimeAbstract
The escalating complexity of financial crime in digital payment systems demands robust solutions to detect high-risk users and mitigate fraud. This paper explores artificial intelligence (AI) applications for enhancing transaction secu- rity through real-time anomaly detection, behavioral biometrics, and adaptive machine learning models. By analyzing transaction velocity, geolocation, and device interactions, AI systems achieve 98.7% accuracy in identifying fraudu- lent activities, reducing false positives by 40% compared to rule-based systems. Building on Chen and Zhao’s (2021) evaluation of supervised learning mod- els, we demonstrate the efficacy of hybrid AI architectures combining graph neural networks and anomaly detection algorithms. Case studies highlight AI’s role in thwarting synthetic identity fraud and adversarial attacks, with sys- tems processing 10,000+ transactions per second. Ethical challenges, including algorithmic bias and data privacy, are addressed through explainable AI (XAI) frameworks. The study concludes with recommendations for federated learning and blockchain-AI integration to combat cross-border money laundering[1].
