Motor insurance companies and FleetCheck deepfake (Apr 2025)

AI-generated images are being used to exaggerate vehicle damage in motor insurance claims. Individuals are using tools powered by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to create realistic visuals of damage, such as scratches and dents, that appear more realistic than previously possible. Zurich reported a rise in the use of digital technology in false or misleading claims, including non-genuine repair invoices, fabricated engineer assessments, and altered repair estimates. Images are also being digitally modified to include registration numbers on vehicles no longer in use.
