10:10 AM - 10:40 AM
AI Risk Summit Strategy Track (Salon I)

About This Session

AI has made it hard to know who is real. Even the world's most advanced AI companies are being penetrated by foreign operators, while criminal networks use deepfakes and synthetic identities to slip past existing controls. Regulators are reacting with sweeping restrictions that continue to shift.

How bad is it, and how do you adjust without slowing down growth?

In this session, we'll show you the threat on a real-life heat map of international fraud rings, then you'll hear how leading companies are using the same identity layer trusted by the government to prove their guardrails are real.

Governments want to trust the private sector to innovate. Learn how to earn that trust now. (Presented by Socure)
