Summary
Fraud expert David Maimon testified before the House Oversight Committee, warning that the federal government lacks the tools and policies to prevent criminals from using artificial intelligence (AI) against taxpayers. He stated that the government’s slow deployment of fraud-fighting tools allows criminals to “take advantage of these opportunities” and “continue to exploit” resources. Maimon highlighted how his company has collected intelligence on fraudsters, including their use of AI-generated faces and deepfake videos to defeat liveness checks. He recommended that the government verify identities using trusted historical data that is harder for AI to fake.
