Identity is the new money — but today’s systems are broken.
As we move into 2026, identity systems are under more pressure than ever.
AI-driven fraud, deepfakes, and synthetic identities are exploiting every gap — across finance, crypto, and government programs — proving that digital trust is still far from guaranteed.
Are regulators underestimating the threat? Can decentralization and strong identity ever be reconciled? And who should ultimately fix broken systems — governments, banks, or platforms?
This 60-minute live discussion brings together global experts in fraud risk, compliance, and identity to explore what’s failing, what’s next, and how to build trust into digital identity for the future.
Speakers:
– David Birch, Author, Advisor & Commentator on Digital Financial Services
– Eddie Moxon-Garcia, Digital ID Expert & Product Marketing Lead at Sumsub
Moderator: Yiannis Theodorou, Senior Advisor & Global Lead (Digital Identity), Tony Blair Institute for Global Change
What you’ll learn:
– Why current identity systems are failing
– How fraudsters are exploiting identity weaknesses in finance, crypto, and government IDs
– The future of trust: reusable IDs, eIDAS2, digital wallets, and Web3
