Closing the Trust Velocity Gap
Threats evolve at AI speed. Institutions adopt at enterprise speed.Join an expertly curated, highly interactive, daylong executive conversation on building trust infrastructure for the AI economy.
Why this Summit, why now
The rapid evolution of Gen AI has democratized fraud, with zero-cost, easily accessible online tools creating an industrialized threat landscape. Today’s bad actors leverage AI-driven deepfakes and synthetic identities, and fabricated contextual and environmental signals, to launch increasingly complex, difficult-to-detect attacks that threaten the foundation of global digital commerce, financial services, and national security.
AI-driven impersonation is therefore reshaping how organizations establish identity, verify authenticity, govern AI, and preserve trust. The Deepfake Summit is where leaders from government, industry, and technology come together across silos and sectors to build the trust infrastructure required for the AI economy.
Limited to 150 fraud, identity, and AI leaders.
Be in the room
Meet the people building the technology, platforms, and solutions that detect and defend against impersonation threats.
Compare notes with the leaders developing strategies and deploying solutions against deepfakes, synthetic identities and agentic AI.
Influence the policies, regulations, and standards for appropriate use within a privacy-first, user-centric framework.
A different kind of Summit
Each keynote, fireside conversation and Summit Dialogue brings speakers and participants together for candid discussion, informed debate, and practical collaboration. Everyone in the room contributes, challenges assumptions and advances ideas.
Sessions run under the Chatham House Rule, and networking is built into the day, from the Trust Leaders Breakfast to the Reality Check Lounge.
From the founder
“Deepfakes and synthetic identities are a potentially crippling, societal-scale problem. Add Agentic AI to the mix, and the complexity multiplies exponentially.”
