00:00Working in identity verification,

00:03part of that is the submission of an identity document.

00:08Then the other component to verify that you are

00:10the rightful holder of that document

00:12is to submit your biometrics.

00:15This can be in the form of a still photograph or

00:18selfie or a video if we want to confirm liveness.

00:22So that's that extra step.

00:24But this is where the deep fake element comes in.

00:28So if you are not the rightful holder of the document,

00:31there's one of two things you can do.

00:32You can either alter the document,

00:35so illegally change the document in some way

00:37so that it puts your face on the document,

00:40or you can try and in some way change your face

00:43to look like the person who does own the document.

00:46And this is where deep fakes have been employed

00:49so that people can wear essentially a digital mask

00:52of the rightful holder.

00:53The technology is getting better and better.

00:56Generative AI has become more advanced,

00:59easier to use, and more accessible.

01:01And the experts are warning us it's only going to

01:03get better going forward.

01:05So what's in the future for online fraud?

01:07So what we're starting to see occur now

01:11are fraudsters injecting genuine documents.

01:15And one of the elements I think we'll start to see more of

01:19almost as a kind of a repercussion of the improvements

01:24in technology is you will see people trying to do more

01:28low-tech solutions.

01:30So I think we'll see an increase in social engineering scams

01:34or coercion where people with their genuine details

01:39and their genuine face will be tricked or coerced

01:42into submitting them on the fraudster's behalf.

01:45It's become that realistic now that for a human being,

01:48it's almost imperceptible.

01:50We are entering into that period now.

01:51I think we are at a turning point where

01:54it's going to be difficult to believe what you see

01:57with your own eyes if we're seeing it online.
