UK Gambling Commission flags AI deepfakes in money laundering guidance
The UK Gambling Commission updated its anti-money laundering and terrorist financing guidance on 8 April, warning operators about risks including AI-generated documents and deepfake images or videos. It said operators should train staff to assess customer documents and treat cryptocurrency exchanges as high risk; its guidance also identifies risks involving high-value banknotes, paid-for personal details and crash games.
Operators must account for the Commission’s listed risks in customer checks and suspicious-activity monitoring to meet licensing conditions.
