Businesses face growing challenges from overly aggressive fraud detection systems that mistakenly flag legitimate operations. New AI solutions are emerging that can distinguish between actual fraud and lawful activity, with some companies reporting false positive reductions up to 60%.

Analysts suggest that automated fraud systems often treat unfamiliar patterns as dangerous, leading to significant business disruptions.
