“Different people…have different sets of data available to them to identify what, initially, is just anomalies. One way of firming up whether that is actually due to normal behavior, or due to fraud, is to share the data with other people.”

Our wonderful keynote speaker, Katherine Reilly of #SDNY, interviewed by Andreea Gleeson of @tunecore, takes the stage to address what we can learn from Micheal Smith’s arrest, fraudulent AI use in music & the future from a law enforcement perspective.
