Machine learning is cutting the average time-to-detect fraud by 2.5x compared with traditional rules, yet fraud losses still hit $24 billion globally in 2023 and about 25% of frauds take more than 24 months to surface. That gap between faster detection efforts and stubborn tail risk is spilling into how organizations run disputes and compliance workflows, from chargeback handling tools to automated case management.
