Generative AI hasn't just made fraud easier: it has made it highly repeatable at scale. Attacks that once required coordination, skill, and resources now run continuously, adapt in real time, and arrive at a volume that static defenses weren't built to absorb.

For payments and commerce platforms, pressure lands on both sides: tighten controls and risk killing conversion, or loosen them and the losses follow.

In this session, we'll dig into what's actually shifting across the threat landscape and what it means for the teams responsible for stopping it.

Agenda

Where AI-powered identity attacks are succeeding and why traditional defenses are struggling to keep pace
How high-velocity platforms are rethinking fraud controls without sacrificing conversion
What layered identity intelligence and continuous trust models look like in practice
Why adaptability and explainability are becoming non-negotiable in the AI era
