The cat and mouse game of criminals vs. regulators and compliance teams can feel intense, and the stakes are high. With advanced AI and deep learning technologies like deepfake, fraudulent activity is easier, cheaper, and more sophisticated than ever before. However, the same advancement in tools and technologies is exactly what’s needed to fight back, and even get ahead.

In this episode of KYC Decoded, we are happy to share the mic with deepfake experts David Thomas, Head of Product - Global Documents & Biometrics at GBG, and Paul Warren-Tape, Head of Risk and Compliance at IDVerse. Their gripping conversation with host Alex Pillow explores questions like:

• What are deepfakes and how are they created?
• What are the far-reaching consequences of using deepfake technologies for nefarious activity, and who are the victims?
• How do we know what to trust when we can’t rely on our eyes and ears alone?
• What controls and technologies are needed in the identification space?
• Who is leading the way in getting ahead of fraudsters?
• How can we use powerful technology ethically and responsibly?
