The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

Shinhan Financial Group in South Korea deployed an AI-based fraud detection system (FDS) that analyzes and shares suspicious transaction data across its subsidiaries. Within two weeks, the system detected 41 fraudulent cases and prevented approximately 8 billion KRW in voice phishing losses, demonstrating AI's effectiveness in financial crime prevention.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The event involves the use of an AI-based fraud detection system (FDS) that analyzes transaction data across multiple financial group companies to detect and prevent voice phishing scams. The AI system's deployment directly prevented financial harm to customers, which is a form of harm to property. Although the harm was prevented, the AI system's role was pivotal in stopping the harm from occurring. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the definition of an event where AI use has directly or indirectly led to harm (or prevention of harm) to persons or property.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions the use of an AI-based fraud detection system that analyzes suspicious transaction data to detect and prevent voice phishing scams, which are a form of financial fraud causing harm to customers' assets. The system's deployment and operation have directly led to the prevention of significant financial harm (about 8 billion KRW). This fits the definition of an AI Incident because the AI system's use has directly led to harm prevention, which is a realized impact on harm (financial harm to customers). Although the harm was prevented, the AI system's role in detecting and stopping fraudulent transactions is pivotal and directly linked to harm mitigation. Therefore, this event is best classified as an AI Incident.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves the use of AI systems (anomaly detection systems and planned integration with an AI-based anti-phishing platform) to detect and prevent financial fraud (voice phishing). The AI system's use has directly led to harm prevention (avoiding financial loss to customers), which qualifies as harm to property and individuals. Since the AI system's use has already resulted in preventing harm, this is an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information. The event is not merely about AI development or policy but about the active use of AI systems to prevent realized harm.
