AI is making fraud cheaper to scale rather than putting scammers out of work. Chainalysis found average on-chain revenue of $3.2 million for scam operations linked to AI vendors, about 4.5 times the figure for others. The FBI recorded roughly $893.3 million in adjusted losses from 2025 complaints involving AI, while Anthropic described Claude Code being used in an extortion campaign targeting at least 17 organizations.
