The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) reported 1,379 cases of financial fraud leveraging AI technologies, including deepfakes and identity manipulation, from late 2024 to mid-2026. The scams, increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect, have caused significant financial harm, prompting warnings and calls for public vigilance.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event clearly involves AI systems being used maliciously to perpetrate financial fraud, causing direct harm to individuals' financial assets. The use of AI-generated deepfake videos, voice cloning, and AI trading robots to deceive victims and induce them to transfer funds constitutes direct harm to persons (financial injury). The article provides data on numerous reported cases, confirming that harm has occurred. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the definition of harm to persons/groups caused directly or indirectly by AI misuse.[AI generated]
