ID-Pal has enhanced its ID-Detect feature to tackle the rise in deepfakes and digital manipulations.

ID-Detect is a document-fraud detection service. The recent upgrade aims to strengthen safeguards against fraud and impersonation created by artificial intelligence (AI). With these kinds of fraud, including video, photo, mask or 3D model spoofing attempts, posing a significant threat globally, financial institutions are facing increasing risks.

Countering AI scams with AI tools

ID-Pal believes that only AI solutions can effectively detect and combat the new wave of AI-generated threats. The upgrade introduces advanced features to protect users from four major types of presentation attacks—screen replay, printed copy, portrait substitution, and AI-driven digital manipulations. These encompass deepfake documents, AI-generated forgeries, synthetic identities, and any document tampering done with editing software.

The new ID-Detect upgrade provides enhanced detection capabilities for emerging manipulation techniques, enabling businesses to pinpoint tampered, fabricated or synthetically created documents more accurately and swiftly. Its AI-powered authentication system identifies signs of digital tampering, such as pixelation, texture differences, pattern irregularities, and other inconsistencies.

Upon identifying suspicious content, the system tags it with a clear reason code, providing compliance teams with detailed information for faster, more informed decisions. This update also includes reduced false positives, smoother onboarding of genuine customers, and flexible configuration options within ID-Detect.

All these enhancements help mitigate AI-driven fraud, minimizing manual reviews, business losses, and improving customer experiences. These capabilities come as a majority—72% according to The Payments Association survey—of respondents identify fraud as their primary concern in the face of evolving AI threats.
