In this episode of Good Question, we explore a fast-emerging challenge in fraud detection: AI-generated documents. Recent updates to ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities have introduced powerful new tools for fraudsters. Using an autoregressive image model (as opposed to diffusion-based approaches), these systems can now generate entire documents from scratch (pixel by pixel) with highly realistic formatting and texture.
Join Inscribe CEO & Co-founder Ronan Burke, Senior Research Scientist Martina Pugliese, and host Brianna Valleskey as they dive into how new generative image models are being used to create realistic-looking receipts, invoices, and even bank statements — and what that means for risk teams. We cover:
- How autoregressive image models work (and why they’re more convincing than ever)
- Which types of documents are easiest to fake (and which still pose challenges for AI)
- What forensic and semantic signals Inscribe uses to detect synthetic documents
- How Inscribe’s AI agents are evolving to stay ahead of this threat
- Why this isn’t hype — but also not a panic moment
From synthetic receipts to near-realistic invoices, this episode explores what’s real, what’s hype, and what’s coming next in the arms race between generative AI and fraud detection.

In the latest episode of Good Question, we explore how new tools like Fraud GPT, a dark AI tool designed specifically for malicious activities, are changing the landscape of financial crime. We talk about how Inscribe is developing innovative solutions to counter these threats. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including the challenges of evolving AI technology, ethical considerations in AI development, and the importance of human oversight. Inscribe’s mission is to build solutions that blend the computational power of AI with the human insight that is crucial for nuanced decision-making. This isn't just about automating fraud detection—it's about elevating the capabilities of fraud teams to keep up with an increasingly complex landscape.Whether you're a fraud fighter, a product lead, or just interested in the future of AI, this episode is packed with valuable insights into the present and future of AI in fraud detection. AI is not here to replace human fraud fighters but to empower them. While tools like FraudGPT pose new challenges, they also highlight the importance of staying ahead of the curve with AI-powered solutions.
Interesting moments:
04:46 — “We talk about the three V’s of AI: volume, velocity, and variety. AI lets you generate more data than you ever could before, faster, and in different formats—text, image, video—and that’s how fraudsters are using these tools.”
06:44 — “AI can help analyze vast amounts of data much quicker, identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate fraud, and adapt to new fraudulent tactics more swiftly than current manual systems.”
10:03 — "Fraudsters are organizations. They have operations and processes themselves. In the same way you can use AI to streamline operations in a standard corporation, fraudsters can be looking to reduce their time to produce content or get the outcome they want.”
34:10 — “The AI fraud analyst is here to empower human analysts, not replace them. By automating repetitive tasks, AI allows humans to focus on more complex and high-value work, like strategic decision-making and managing nuanced investigations.”
35:01 — “By combining the computational power of AI with the contextual understanding of human analysts, organizations can create a really powerful and efficient fraud detection capability.”

In this debut episode of our new podcast, Good Question, we dive into the rapidly evolving world of AI, focusing on the hype surrounding large language models (LLMs) and whether the excitement is justified. Ronan and Conor, our co-founders, bring their unique perspectives on the AI landscape as we discuss the current state of AI within the technology hype cycle, exploring whether we are nearing a bubble and what that might mean for the industry. We also explore the potential (and limitations) of AI's economic impact, as well as articles from Sequoia Capital and Goldman Sachs questioning the ROI of AI investments. While we are generally optimistic about AI’s potential, we also acknowledge the importance of skepticism and balanced viewpoints in guiding sustainable AI development and adoption. Finally, we wrap up with a lightning round, where we share our views on what’s currently overhyped (or underhyped) in both tech and everyday life.
Interesting moments

01:43 — "The introduction of LLMs into society has given everyone the ability to use AI by simply coming up with compelling prompts, often in the form of questions."
04:55 — “This does seem like a generational technology shift, just like semiconductors and the internet—worth betting on for the long term."
13:52 — "A certain level of hype is actually good to get technology off the ground, but too much can lead to a bubble, which can be a setback."
18:23 — "In AI investments, it’s not a simple timing question—dollar in today doesn't mean dollar back tomorrow. It’s about when that return will come, and that’s the tricky part."
21:56 — "In a well-functioning society, it’s always good to have checks and balances. Skepticism helps us think about investments more robustly."
28:47— "When Zillow builds their AI real estate agent, take note: we need to know the number, position, and dimensions of windows, as well as the amount of sunlight!"
We hope you enjoyed the discussion, learned something new, and are as excited as we are about the future of AI. Stay tuned for more thought-provoking conversations in upcoming episodes!

In this episode of Good Question, we explore one of the most exciting developments in the world of large language models: multimodal LLMs, which combine different types of data — like text and images — to create a more nuanced understanding of information. We talked about how the relationship between those models is akin to being twins, where two brains can offer different perspectives while working toward the same goal. Just as twins, like our co-founders Ronan and Conor Burke, can leverage their unique viewpoints to tackle challenges more effectively, multimodal LLMs use their ability to process multiple data types to outperform single-modal models. Our discussion also covers how the integration of multimodal data in LLMs is crucial for advancing AI toward behaviors that mimic human reasoning, how LLMs allow for better performance in tasks such as document parsing, and the future of these models (particularly in consumer applications). We hope you enjoy this conversation about the similarities between multimodal LLMs and twins, exploring why two brains—whether human or artificial—are indeed better than one.

00:47 — "I received a text message the other day from none other than Gemini, Google's multimodal large language model.
01:50 — "Multimodal is really important with AGI or trying to build systems that can have similar behaviors and capabilities as people and humans."
06:30 — "Like multimodal, having a twin is like viewing a situation from two different perspectives, but still being aligned. And startups are a roller coaster, so it’s really important to have that support system."
17:39 — "Of all the big tech companies—Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon—it's likely they're all going to need to have best-in-class LLMs."
28:36 — “At the moment, do our agents talk to each other? It depends on what you define as an agent. For our customers, we deploy one agent at a time, so there's really no opportunity for those agents to talk to another agent because they don't have any other agents to talk to yet."
31:25 — “Enterprises are excited and optimistic. They're already accepting the impending positive impact of AI agents, which is why so many are planning integration within the next few years.”

In the latest episode of Good Question, we embark on an innovative journey — inviting ChatGPT as a guest. The episode kicks off with an introduction to Inscribe’s AI Risk Agents, setting the stage for an engaging discussion about how AI can be more than just a tool. We dive into AI’s role, debating whether Inscribe’s products function as co-pilots or independent agents. ChatGPT’s responses sparked insights into the evolving landscape of AI in financial services. The conversation includes a reflection on the ethical implications of AI in public discourse, notably highlighted in a segment where the team discusses OpenAI’s responsibility in monitoring the misuse of its models. We wrap up the episode with a light-hearted lightning round where we envision personal AI agents we’d like to have. This episode underscores the importance of understanding AI’s potential and limitations, especially in industries where trust and precision are paramount. We hope this conversation offers a blend of humor, insight, and forward-thinking, perfect for anyone navigating the intersection of AI and finance!

07:39 — "ChatGPT is saying that our AI Agents can be classified more as agents rather than co-pilots."
16:38 —"It started off by saying, as an AI, I don't have feelings or personal opinions, but in the previous thread, it did give some personal opinions."

36:44 — ”I need a personal assistant AI agent for just managing Slack.”
