Zelms Erlich Lenkov Partner Tiffiny M. Fox recently joined the Endeavors AI Podcast to discuss how artificial intelligence is being used in insurance fraud investigations, Special Investigation Units (SIU), and day-to-day legal practice.
In the episode, “AI for Attorneys: Catching Fraud & Saving Hours,” Tiffiny draws on her experience in fraud investigation, insurance defense, and SIU claims to explore how AI can help attorneys and investigators analyze large volumes of information, identify patterns across claims, and streamline time-intensive tasks. Tiffiny’s background includes serving as Trial Attorney and Fraud Investigation Counsel for a global property and casualty insurer before joining ZEL.
A central theme of the conversation is the role of AI in identifying patterns that may not be apparent within a single claim. Tiffiny discusses its potential to connect recurring providers, claimants, vehicles, addresses, billing patterns, and other data points, giving experienced professionals another tool for directing an investigation more efficiently.
She also addresses the practical use of AI in legal work, including document review, medical record analysis, transcription, translation, and identifying inconsistencies across discovery and testimony. At the same time, Tiffiny emphasizes that AI should support, not replace, attorney judgment. Outputs still require review, verification, and an understanding of the ethical and professional obligations governing the use of emerging technology.
The discussion comes as Tiffiny prepares to attend the 2026 International Association of Special Investigation Units Annual Conference, taking place September 20–23 in Orlando, Florida. The annual conference brings together SIU professionals focused on detecting, investigating, and deterring insurance fraud, with education covering areas including major fraud investigations, medical fraud, technology, social media, and emerging investigative techniques.
Tiffiny’s participation in these conversations reflects her continued work at the intersection of insurance fraud investigation, SIU strategy, litigation, and emerging technology.
