AI Just Made Fraud 1,000x Easier — Are You Ready?

A single customer request can now generate 10,000 fake documents in under five minutes - and that's just one signal of how fast AI is reshaping trust across cybersecurity, identity, and engineering.

In this episode of 10X Growth Strategies, host Preethy Padmanabhan talks to Purvi Desai (VP Engineering, Zscaler) and Raul Liive (Product Director, Marketplaces, Veriff) about what it actually takes to build - and defend - AI systems that enterprises can trust.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why has the question shifted from "can AI do this?" to "can AI do this predictably, accurately, and with the right governance?"
• How AI has scaled document fraud from a manual editing job into a mass-produced, minutes-long process
• Why identity verification now has to answer not just "who are you" but "are you still you tomorrow, with good intent?"
• The move from AI-as-copilot to full agentic engineering, spec-driven development, and multi-agent workflows
• Why unscoped agentic commands and LLM context limits create new engineering risk
• What trustworthy AI actually requires: accuracy, predictability, traceability, and data segregation
• The role of offline and live evals, judges, and adversarial testing in validating AI output
• How enterprises are evaluating AI vendors on leading-edge capability, compliance, and ease of integration
• Why trust, not just capability, is becoming the hardest problem to solve for AI-driven companies
• The real story behind "15x productivity" claims and how gains actually compound over time

Whether you're a founder, an engineering leader, or someone trying to understand where AI, identity, and cybersecurity intersect - this conversation is for you.
