US complaints that referenced AI accounted for 22,364 reports and $893.35 million in adjusted losses during 2025, according to the FBI report published in April 2026. Shufti projects deepfake identity fraud to rise 495% in 2026 based on an annualised January to May run rate. Document deepfakes carry the highest projection at 3,892%. Chainalysis estimates at least $14 billion reached identified crypto scam addresses in 2025 and projects the figure could exceed $17 billion as more illicit addresses are identified. Crypto scam operations with visible on-chain links to AI vendors generated 4.5 times more revenue per operation than operations without those links. Veriff and Kantar found human visual detection scores of 0.07 to 0.08 on a scale where zero represents chance. The result cannot be compared directly with detector accuracy percentages. Smile ID traced more than 160,000 fraudulent verification attempts in one month to only 100 facial identities. Southern African deepfake attempts rose from fewer than 200 per month in 2024 to more than 3,000 by the end of 2025. No defensible global deepfake-loss total exists because complaint databases, blockchain analysis, vendor telemetry, surveys, and detection benchmarks count different units.
