Workers are scamming their employers using AI-generated fake expense receipts

Description:
An age-old scam is getting a new lease of life thanks to AI.

FULL STORY

The increasing popularity of image, video, and document generation tools are
unsurprisingly ushering in a new era of fraud for businesses and consumers
alike. 

New research has now claimed businesses are seeing an increase in 
AI-generated fake expense receipts which are proving incredibly difficult to
spot. Expense software platform AppZen noted these AI generated expenses now
account for 14% of fraudulent documents submitted in September 2025. 

This may not sound like a lot, but is an increase from 0% in 2024. 

Don't trust your eyes

The findings are seconded by fintech firm Ramp, which claims to have flagged
over $1 million worth of fraudulent invoices in the last 90 days. 

There have been enough expense scandals to know that false expenses are not
unheard of, but AI is making them so much more convincing - creating a lot of
extra work for businesses in verifying them. 

Receipts arent complicated documents, so falsifying them doesnt require any
particular skill, especially with the help of AI. So much so that human
reviewers are often unable to distinguish between AI generated receipts and
real ones. 

These receipts have become so good, we tell our customers, do not trust your
eyes, said Chris Juneau, senior vice-president and head of product marketing
for SAP Concur. 

This means, of course, another expense for businesses. Your business may soon
have to deploy a software that scans the metadata of the receipt submitted -
although even this can be removed, so theres no clear-cut solution here. 

AI is now being pushed into almost every area of western life, and
complicating the roles of supervisors worldwide. With millions of students
even using AI to write their papers that is in some instances undetectable by
software - this has created an impossible task for teachers and schools. -
highlighting just how widespread this issue has become. 

With AI becoming increasingly difficult to spot, powering a new era of fraud
across all industries, its difficult to envision a solution that doesnt
involve most of the world going back to pen and paper or physical media just
to prove authenticity.
