In an AI-driven world, distinguishing real from fake is increasingly challenging. AI has made it easy to forge credentials, impersonate individuals, and submit job applications at scale using synthetic identities. More than a third of remote applicants are fake, and Fortune 500 companies experienced a significant rise in hires from state-sponsored fraudulent actors last year.
