As mobile IDs continue to roll out, with eight states expected to launch in 2025, the challenge remains for businesses to adapt to these technological advancements. Synthetic identity fraud is projected to become the major type of fraud, mirroring economic pressures that historically correlate with rises in ID fraud. Decentralised identity systems Additionally, societal concerns about AI may prompt anti-deepfake legislation, while discussions around age-restricted access to digital content are likely to intensify, posing implementation challenges. The move towards decentralised identity systems will also gain traction, offering users enhanced control over their data.
