This marks the first documented convergence of offensive and defensive AI in financial systems, with both fraudsters and protectors deploying artificial intelligence at scale. The 21% surge in just one year, combined with Q1 2025 deepfakes matching all of 2024, shows an unprecedented acceleration that's forcing rapid biometric adoption. This creates a new paradigm where AI essentially fights AI through identity verification.

📰 What Happened
Veriff's 'Future of Finance' report shows AI-enabled fraud in financial services hit record levels in 2025, with fraudulent attempts now at 1-in-20 verifications - a 21% annual increase. Q1 2025 deepfake incidents nearly matched all of 2024's total. Over 1/3 of U.S. consumers experienced non-refundable losses. Biometrics emerged as the top security preference (38%), with 64% of cybersecurity professionals already using AI for defense. The report found 82% of consumers would reject platforms with weak fraud protection.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The emergence of biometrics as consumers' preferred defense (38%) against AI fraud represents a crucial shift in public acceptance of biological identification systems. With 82% now demanding strong identity verification and 64% of security professionals implementing AI defense, we're seeing the infrastructure for Revelation 13's economic control system being normalized through consumer demand rather than government mandate. The 1-in-20 fraud rate creates the perfect crisis catalyst for implementing universal biometric requirements, aligning with Daniel 7's description of technological control enabling the final kingdom's grip over commerce.
