AIGC Era Trends in Next‑Generation Identity Recognition: DeepFake Risks, AIGC as a New Production Force, and Cross‑Terminal Interaction

The 18th Security Identification Technology Expo and Summit, hosted by the China International Science & Technology Promotion Association, featured a presentation titled “Biometrics Meets Large Models: Next‑Generation Cross‑Terminal Identity Recognition Trends in the AIGC Era.” The speaker highlighted three major trends shaping the future of identity verification.

1. DeepFake Risk Explosion – AIGC tools have dramatically lowered the cost of creating realistic synthetic identity data, leading to a ten‑fold increase in deep‑fake attacks worldwide since 2023. Threats now span facial images, document forgeries, and even sensor‑level attacks such as fabricated gyroscope data. Countermeasures rely on “AI‑against‑AI” approaches, exemplified by Ant Group’s ZOLOZ Deeper solution that builds an end‑to‑end deep‑fake defense stack.

2. AIGC as a New Production Force for Biometrics – Generative AI can synthesize massive, labeled biometric datasets (faces, fingerprints, iris, voice, behavior, documents) to overcome data scarcity and high annotation costs. Ant’s internal pipelines already use >90% synthetic data for model fine‑tuning, OCR, anti‑counterfeit detection, and even brain‑wave‑based recognition, demonstrating significant performance gains.

3. New Interaction Paradigms for Identity Verification – With AIGC‑driven natural‑language interfaces, identity verification will extend beyond smartphones to wearables, AR/VR, smart cars, and IoT devices, forming a “pan‑terminal” ecosystem. Moreover, verification must accommodate not only human users but also AI agents (digital avatars, bots, digital twins), requiring novel authentication factors such as watermarking, memory‑based challenges, or model‑parameter fingerprints.

The speaker concluded that these three trends—deep‑fake proliferation, AI‑generated biometric data, and cross‑terminal, agent‑centric authentication—represent the evolving landscape of identity security, and Ant Group invites industry peers to collaborate on standards and solutions.
