Generative AI has transformed return fraud from opportunistic abuse into industrial-scale infrastructure. AI-fabricated damage photos, synthetic receipts, and deepfake voice bots are now live attack vectors costing U.S. marketplaces an estimated $76.5 billion annually — with AI-driven fraud growing over 1,200% in 2025 alone. This panel breaks down how first-person fraud is being engineered, where platform defenses are failing, and what a realistic detection stack actually looks like. Attendees will leave with a clear-eyed view of the threat landscape, a framework for auditing their own exposure, and concrete countermeasures — from image forensics to behavioral analytics — that can be operationalized immediately.

A practical, operator-led session on how leading digital platforms turn trust into a growth advantage by building it into product, identity, verification, risk scoring, and insight loops from day one. Drawing on experience from Amazon, Meta, Eldera, eBay, and other platform environments, panelists will show how T&S signals can inform go-to-market, partner strategy, and market entry decisions — not sit in a silo. Attendees will leave with a cross-functional playbook for aligning product, ops, T&S, and commercial teams so platforms can scale across markets with stronger trust, fewer surprises, and better revenue outcomes.
