Keynote 22 - Fighting Back Against Intelligent Fraud with AI Agents
Tuesday 22 September, 14:00 – 14:15Auditorium StageAI is foundational to how businesses operate and a critical connection between people and companies, making AI-assisted fraud prevention a core business priority. As organizations deploy intelligent agents to drive speed and efficiency, attackers are deploying their own AI to mimic real people and exploit trust at scale. The result: a new, largely unprotected frontline where identity is fluid and traditional safeguards fall short. In this keynote, Phenom CEO and co-founder Mahe Bayireddi outlines how leading companies are responding by embedding fraud detection across critical workflows, coordinating networks of AI agents to identify risk signals in real time, and reinforcing automation with human oversight. The goal is not to slow innovation, but to ensure that speed, security and trust are built together from the start.
