Me, Myself, and AI: What My Action Figure Teaches Us About Cyber Threats

What happens when you ask for of today's top Gen AI tools to generate an action figure of you using the exact same prompt? In this provocative and visually engaging session, we will explore how widely different outputs ranging from bias caricatures to eerily, accurate replicas expose critical vulnerabilities, and how identity trust and authenticity are interpreted by using real examples from this experiment. Each flawed replica is mapped to a broader cyber security threat from synthetic identity fraud to inconsistent trust signals to model bias, and the symmetry of fraud detection. We will unpack how these risks are already playing out in the ecosystem where milliseconds matter and near perfect fakes are enough to bypass legacy controls.
