<span style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-weight: bolder;">Abstract:</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(35, 31, 32);">Rapid advances in generative AI have made it increasingly easy to synthesize or manipulate faces, voices, and real-time audiovisual streams, creating new challenges for biometric
identity systems. This talk examines how deepfakes can affect different stages of the biometric pipeline, including synthetic identity creation, impersonation, morphing, and real-time digital injection. It will clarify the complementary roles of biometric
matching, presentation attack detection and liveness, and media forensics, and review the forensic evidence that current deepfake detectors exploit.</span></p>
<div class="elementToProof" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px 0px 20px; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(35, 31, 32);">
The talk will also discuss why deepfake detection remains difficult in real-world settings and argue for moving beyond a single “real or fake” detector toward layered, evidence-based and risk-aware biometric authentication. The webinar should be relevant to
researchers, practitioners, students, and security professionals working in biometrics, identity verification, media forensics, AI security, fraud prevention, and trustworthy AI.</div>
