AAG McDonald on Student Loan Fraud: Fraudsters Are Using AI to Complete College Applications, Submit Coursework

TRANSCRIPT:

McDONALD: “The methods used in these schemes are increasingly sophisticated. Some use super intelligence to fill out college applications and complete coursework so it looks like the ghost student is actually completing the class. Some even create the appearance of a fake student in an online classroom to trick schools into believing a real person is present. The goal is to keep the ghost student in school for as long as possible, semester after semester after semester, stealing money from the taxpayer.”
