Phone-based digital identification systems adopted at the state level are becoming more urgently needed with the growth of identity and payment fraud, two members of Congress said Tuesday.
In an interview with "Forbes Newsroom," Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL) discussed the growing threat of AI deepfakes, the potential for criminals to exploit the technology for identity fraud, and the challenges of distinguishing authentic content from increasingly convincing fakes.
Industry leaders called for an AI slowdown and for guardrails to be put in place after a whistleblower sounded the alarm on the technology’s potential to wipe out humanity. Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) joined “Forbes Newsroom” to discuss those safety concerns and legislation to implement guardrails on AI.
