Franz also shared his thoughts on how AI will continue the move to modernize banks’ processes and discussed recent case studies that explored technology trends and their effect on financial services. He also discussed how these technologies will affect the future of work and how organizations can lead in this new work environment and navigate the future of work. Our final session on Tuesday morning was all about recent fraud trends. FBI Special Agent Rick Miller and Roanoke County Detective Betsy Van Patten shared recent fraud trends they are seeing in their jurisdictions, what the criminals are up to and how they are committing their crimes. Both Rick and Betsy shared ideas and tips on how banks can attempt to stay ahead of the bad actors to help combat fraud at their institutions.
