Episode Summary: In this week’s Identity Insights, we explore how the identity ecosystem is shifting its center of gravity toward hardening age assurance and building resilience against AI-driven fraud. From Instagram’s verification failures to massive global investments in digital wallets, we break down the critical updates defining the sector.

• Agentic AI & The Deepfake Crisis: A look at how “rogue agent” AI is launching fraud at scale against state agencies and how vendors are rolling out new countermeasures to detect deepfakes.
• Biometrics at the Border: The contrast between the TSA’s billion-dollar upgrade touts and the heavy hand of GDPR regulators, highlighted by Spain’s airport operator Aena receiving an $11M fine for its biometric boarding program.
• Global Digital Wallet Momentum: Updates on the massive expansion of digital ID, including the UK’s projected £1.8B national ID cost, Denmark’s rollout of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), and Tech5-powered launches in Papua New Guinea and Honduras.
