The AI Fraud Wave Is Here: Connor Heaton on Deepfakes, Scams, and the End of Trust as We Know It.
Episode 117
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026
Artificial intelligence isn’t just changing the world, it’s changing how fraud works. In this episode of The Protectors Podcast, Mike and Mark sit down with Connor Heaton, Program Manager at CivAI, to explore how AI is already being used to power the next generation of scams, deepfakes, and highly personalized social engineering attacks.From voice cloning and video deepfakes to AI-generated phishing campaigns that eliminate traditional red flags, Connor breaks down how quickly the threat landscape is evolving - and why many of the warning signs we’ve relied on for years are disappearing. We also dive into where these tools are coming from, who is most at risk right now, and what individuals, financial institutions, and law enforcement can do to stay ahead.This isn’t a conversation about the future. It’s happening right now. And the question is no longer if AI will impact fraud, it’s how prepared are we when it does.The Protectors Podcast - Protection From the Frauds You Never See Coming.GUEST CONTACT INFO:Connor Heaton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/connorheaton/CivAI Website: https://civai.org/Google: "AI Misuse/Threat Reports"Links to the latest Misuse Reports:https://www.anthropic.com/news/disrupting-AI-espionagehttps://cdn.openai.com/pdf/df438d70-e3fe-4a6c-a403-ff632def8f79/disrupting-malicious-uses-of-ai.pdfhttps://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/distillation-experimentation-integration-ai-adversarial-use?e=48754805________________________________IAFCI CONTACT INFO:IAFCI Website: https://iafci.org/Phone: 916-939-5000Advertising Opportunities and Guest Appearance: IAFCIProtectorspodcast@gmail.com
