digital identity

AI video company Tavus has introduced Griffin, a conversational video model it says is realistic enough to pass a video Turing test. The announcement is drawing attention to how closely AI-generated humans now resemble real people on camera, and to what that means for trust in video, digital identity and online deception.

A new coalition of travel industry companies has called on the European Union to use its Digital Omnibus to enable secure, seamless biometric journeys across Europe. The group argues that clearer rules on biometric identity checks would smooth airport and border processes while protecting passenger data, and it wants the framework reflected in upcoming EU digital legislation.
