On March 30, 2026, at 14:00, a round table titled “AI and Financial Fraud: How to Avoid Deception?” was held at the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Evidence-Based Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine and Healthcare. The event was organized within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 3 “Good Health and Well-being.”

In the context of increasing digitalization and the active implementation of artificial intelligence technologies, there has been a significant increase in financial fraud cases. Such situations are often associated with psychological stress and a reduced sense of security, highlighting the relevance of the topic.

The round table was conducted under the supervision of Senior Lecturer Akylbek Saktapov. Presentations were delivered by 4th-year students of the Public Health educational program, Nurai Yerbol and Alua Mussabekova. Students from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years participated in the discussion.

The aim of the event was to increase students’ awareness of modern forms of financial fraud involving artificial intelligence technologies, as well as to develop practical skills for identifying and preventing such risks.

During the round table, the following issues were discussed: types of financial fraud involving artificial intelligence, including deepfake calls, phishing, and fake investment offers; mechanisms of social engineering; indicators of fraudulent schemes; basic principles of personal data protection; and recommendations for preventing financial losses. Particular attention was given to behavioral responses in stressful situations and decision-making strategies when encountering fraudulent activities.

The discussion was accompanied by the analysis of practical cases and typical fraud scenarios. Participants explored possible behavioral models, proposed solutions, and evaluated their effectiveness, which contributed to reinforcing knowledge and developing practical skills.

The round table was organized in a discussion format using interactive teaching methods, including the use of the Kahoot! platform to collect feedback from participants. This approach enhanced audience engagement and allowed for rapid assessment of learning outcomes.

During the event, presentation and visual materials developed by the participants using modern digital tools were utilized, ensuring clarity and accessibility of the information. Participants actively engaged in discussions, asked questions, and contributed to case analysis.

The event highlighted the practical relevance of the topic in the context of widespread digital technologies. The round table contributed to the development of students’ digital safety skills, critical thinking, and informed decision-making, as well as their resilience to stress related to financial risks.
