The tools of the would-be expenses fraudster used to be pretty low-tech: a photocopier and a bottle of correction fluid; a few blank taxi receipts supplied by an obliging cabbie. These days, things have become both more sophisticated, and simpler.

They come complete with authentic-looking logos, addresses and line items, even simulated creases and coffee stains.
過去,企圖報銷造假的人手段相當原始:一臺復印機和一瓶修正液;再加上幾張由熱心的出租車司機提供的空白車票。如今,手法既更“高級”,又更容易。正如英國《金融時報》本周報道的那樣,圖像生成式人工智能的出現,催生了大量由AI生成的假發票,正在助長報銷欺詐。這些假發票配有仿真的商標、地址和明細,甚至還模擬了折痕和咖啡漬。
