The rise of advanced artificial intelligence deepfake tools has sparked serious concerns about public safety and the reliability of visual identity verification systems used by centralized cryptocurrency exchanges. Several governments, including Malaysia and Indonesia, are taking action to restrict access to AI tools like Grok from xAI, while the California Attorney General's office is investigating reports of non-consensual explicit images. As these tools can now convincingly replicate natural movements, basic checks such as blinking or smiling may no longer suffice to meet KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, putting pressure on global cryptocurrency platforms that rely on automated registration processes to adjust their security measures.
