Dec. 02, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The Sumsub Fraud Report 2025-2026 focuses on the “Sophistication Shift,” which describes the fundamental change in identity fraud from high-volume, basic attempts to fewer, more targeted, and financially damaging AI-enabled operations. This shift is driven primarily by the industrialisation of deception via generative AI, leading to an explosion in deepfakes and highly realistic synthetic identities across all major digital ecosystems. The analysis provides comprehensive regional breakdowns for Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa, and North America, demonstrating that even in markets where overall fraud rates are stabilising, the remaining attacks are significantly more complex and harder to detect.

AI Articles Surpass Human Output on the Web
Nov. 24, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The analysis of the growth and prevalence of AI-generated articles being published on the web clearly indicates that the quantity of articles produced by AI surpassed human-written content in November 2024, a significant trend spurred by the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. However, the proportion of AI content has recently stabilised and suggests this might be due to AI articles often not performing well in major search engines like Google. The CommonCrawl dataset and the application of an AI detection algorithm has been known for its false positive and negative rates when using articles from before ChatGPT’s release and articles generated by GPT-4o, respectively.
