Scammers use AI to make fake art seem real

Fraudsters are increasingly using AI chatbots to create convincing fake art authentication documents, including forged invoices, appraisal certificates, and authenticity certificates. While false documentation has long plagued the art world, AI makes these forgeries more realistic and harder to detect. The technology allows scammers to generate fraudulent credentials quickly without inventing fake experts. In response, insurers and art appraisers are deploying AI tools to analyze metadata and identify document manipulation.
