Traditional notions of identity in #payments are quickly shifting, reflecting the growing use of an online component not just for card-not-present but also in-person transactions. It’s a changing dynamic further affected by criminal behavior, the speed of payments, and regulatory pressure. The need to ensure someone is authentically who they indicate they are is unending. In this article published in Digital Transactions, LegitScript's Dan Frechtling and Kompliant's Leo Patching talk about the changing nature of identity verification in an AI-driven world. https://lnkd.in/gvdfeTuj #IDverification #KYC #KYB

LegitScript is proud to sponsor the upcoming Technology Association of Oregon event on April 8 from 4:00–6:30 PM in Portland. We look forward to joining the conversation on AI adoption, governance, and risk with Oregon’s tech community. Register at the link below!
AI Ambition vs. Business Reality A GRC WARNING: AI Adoption is Exposing & Accelerating Risk As organizations accelerate AI adoption, long-standing weaknesses in data governance and technology integration are being exposed at scale. AI has not introduced entirely new risks, it has applied exponential pressure to existing practices across Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), making foundational gaps impossible to ignore. This event expands audience understanding of how AI tools, systems, and agents impact organizational GRC, often in unintended and unseen ways. The program begins by grounding attendees in the sensitive data elements AI relies on and amplifies, immediately establishing how risk accelerates as AI becomes operational. From there, presenters walk through real business scenarios that expose how governance breakdowns, process gaps, and integration failures introduce and compound risk. Through a story-centric approach, attendees gain visibility into the hidden consequences of AI initiatives and leave with practical guidance and tips to strengthen governance, reduce exposure, and enable responsible, business-aligned AI adoption. What Attendees Will Learn • How AI Magnifies Organizational Practices for Governance, Risk and Compliance • Why Comprehensive Data Governance is Foundational to Every AI Initiative • Strategic and Tactical Considerations for Operationalizing AI Initiatives • Practical Guidance and Tip to Align AI Initiatives With GRC https://cvent.me/8oRQK0 #AI #GRC #Governance #Risk #Compliance #DataGovernance #EnterpriseAI
