In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, the Cabinet Minister warned that authorities will ‘catch up’ with those who cheat the public purse.
He said anti-fraud agencies need to use artificial intelligence to stay ahead of organised crime in the UK and abroad, including in Albania and Romania, which is costing taxpayers billions. He pointed to artificial intelligence (AI) as a key tool, saying it had helped to identify a fraud attempt in Sheffield after spotting that there were more benefits claims in certain postcodes than expected.
