Senior Director of AI Engineering at Coherent Solutions

 

Vittesh Sahni spoke with TechBullion’s Angela Scott-Briggs about why banks need a smarter way to fight fraud as cybercriminals start using the same AI tools as the institutions trying to stop them. 

He explains that the future of fraud prevention will depend on the right partnership between AI and human judgment. AI can process huge volumes of transactions, spot patterns, summarize cases, and reduce false positives. But people still need to stay in charge of high-stakes decisions, accountability, and customer trust.

Vittesh recently authored Coherent Solutions’ whitepaper, Future of Finance: How AI is Advancing Fraud Detection in Banking and Financial Services, which lays out the full strategy and roadmap.

The conversation looks at the following:

  • Why static fraud controls are no longer fit for purpose

  • What does “AI versus AI” mean in modern financial fraud

  • How agentic AI can support fraud investigations

  • Where human oversight should sit in AI-led fraud decisions

  • Why hybrid fraud systems are becoming the practical choice for banks

  • How can better fraud prevention improve customer trust and digital banking experiences

 

Fraud prevention is no longer a back-office function

In 2026 and ahead, every wrongful block is a trust event, and every fast, painless save is a moment of confidence. Financial institutions should build the smartest partnership between human judgment and AI, and the customer experience to prove it.
