I'm curious how all these advancements in AI will impact KYC and identity authentication. It's already easy to scrape OSINT to pull the answers needed for most people's knowledge based authentication sequences. Will we hit the point where fake passports, IDs, and biometrics (including voice prints here) can be replicated undetectably? If so, what will become the standard for identity authentication?

It wouldn’t be insurmountable to deploy national ID cards like Estonia from a technical perspective but we have a non-trivial number of people who object to that on religious grounds so I’d expect we’ll have some kind of private sector multiple standards mess for years.
