As artificial intelligence makes websites, software and online content faster and cheaper to produce, trust in digital systems is becoming harder to verify.

This shift is forcing governments, companies and regulators to rethink digital infrastructure around verifiable identities, reliable information and trustworthy systems.
The concern spans from financial systems to business software.

However, the piece cautions that AI did not invent online impersonation, and not every scam uses it.
