FYI here the notes from Andrew and Iain's session, AI is Rocket Fuel for Fraud, from last week, as shared in today's call. 

At IIW 36, there were three sessions that were somewhat interesting. This event also had the most mentions of "deep fakes" (2), AI (3), and Identity Proofing (3).

p. 195-199: Digital Trust in the Age of Chat GPT
p. 262-263:  AI Breaks Things/DIDs Fix it
p. 240-245: Make revenue with identity? (Looked a bit promotion-y, but some interesting points, especially identity proofing of callers to reduce robocall spam)

I briefly reviewed the TOCs of each proceeding, and searched the document for three keywords: Deep Fakes, AI (intelligence), Identity Proofing (proofing) to understand how much these keywords were noted in the documents. IIW 35 had 1 mention of AI, and 2 mentions of identity proofing. IIW 34 did not mention any of the keywords, and IIW 33, had 1 mention of Deep Fakes and 5 mentions of Identity Proofing - these being in the Quigo chat. Note: IIW 33 was virtual.

This says to me, and I think Andrew and/or Iain mentioned in today's call, that the identity community (at least at IIW) is not really paying attention to the deep fake threat to identity proofing.

Please reply and share if you attended any IIW session that covered these topics (or any conference sessions at any conferences) that you think would be useful to the group to review.

Cheers,
