Detecting AI-Generated Investment Scams trains learners to identify, analyze, and defend against modern financial fraud powered by generative AI, deepfakes, code automation, and synthetic media. The course examines how malicious actors use LLMs, cloned voices, fake trading bots, and DeFi exploits to deceive investors and manipulate markets at scale. Through forensic analysis, adversarial labs, and real-world case studies, participants learn to detect synthetic content, assess vulnerabilities, and evaluate surveillance system weaknesses. By the end, students can design robust defensive protocols and safeguard retail and institutional environments from AI-enabled financial deception.
