Deep fakes, AI and digital trust

Without trust, we can’t have security. But the growth of the digital economy, and the wider online world, is changing our idea of trust.

A lot of the ways we identified and trusted the people, and organisations in the physical world are not easy to replicate online.

And, as well as removing the human traits that help us to establish trust – from eye contact or a handshake, to a tone of voice – it's becoming harder to identify if another person is who they say they are. In fact, it's now hard to be sure if they are a person at all.

Digital trust is one answer. And our guest this week is an expert in the field. Rolf von Roessing is one of the lead authors of ISACA's digital trust framework. And, as he explains to Stephen Pritchard, understanding digital trust will be ever more important to any organisation that operates in the digital world.
