“ AI-powered liveness detection is better than humans in recognising what is real and what is not ”

CHRIS BRIGGS SVP IDENTITY , MITEK
found that humans have greater difficulty identifying images of biometric spoofing attacks compared to computers performing the same task , with machines as much as 10x faster than humans at detecting fake faces .
“ Furthermore , AI-powered liveness detection is better than humans at recognising what is real and what is not . It ensures the integrity of a biometric match by distinguishing both identity and liveness , through AI . For example , fraudsters are no longer able to bypass screening processes with photos of a printed image . Also , fraudsters cannot work around liveness , mitigating the threat of identity fraud .”
Biometric authentication and behavioural biometrics With Verizon ’ s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report finding that stolen password credentials were involved in 61 % of all company data breaches last year , password technology is clearly no longer sufficient .
Enter biometric technology , where facial recognition or voice verification is used to verify a customer ’ s identity . “ The software measures the capture to create a baseline data point template or the " lock " that will be the determining data point for future uses ,” comments Briggs . “ This means that only the matching biometrics , whether its
