Deepfakes and AI Identity Attacks in Banking | 10DX FraudSense Dubai Roundtable June 2026

Roundtable Overview

Deepfakes have become an operational fraud threat across the Gulf, with synthetic media targeting digital onboarding, authentication, and high-value transaction authorisation. CBUAE has warned banks to strengthen defences against AI-driven impersonation. This roundtable examines where identity systems are most exposed, which detection approaches are proving effective in practice, and where current defences are still being outpaced by tools that cost fraudsters almost nothing to deploy.

Discussion Points

How banks are protecting facial and voice authentication systems against deepfake injection attacks without introducing customer friction.

Where staff verification and high-value transaction authorisation are creating exploitable gaps that AI-driven impersonation is already targeting.

Whether detection approaches can keep pace with synthetic media tools that are evolving faster than most bank defences can adapt.
