Fraud and Improper Payments: Data Quality and a Skilled Workforce Are Essential for Realizing Artificial Intelligence’s Benefits

Print
We testified on fraud and improper payments before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's Subcommittee on Government Operations.

It is based primarily on the following reports:

Program Integrity: Agencies and Congress Can Take Actions to Better Manage Improper Payments and Fraud Risks

Artificial Intelligence: An Accountability Framework for Federal Agencies and Other Entities

Fraud Risk in Federal Programs: Continuing Threat from Organized Groups Since COVID-19

We've made recommendations to improve how agencies use data—potentially with AI tools—to manage fraud and improper payments.
