Singapore amongst most concerned over AI-driven digital fraud

84% of respondents said they were worried about fake digital IDs generated using AI, compared to 76% globally.

Singapore consumers are amongst the most concerned globally about AI-powered fraud, with fears significantly outpacing the global average across multiple digital threat areas, according to a new survey by Jumio.

In Singapore, 84% of respondents said they were worried about fake digital IDs generated using AI, compared to 76% globally.

Scam emails designed to steal passwords or money raised concerns for 82% of Singaporeans, whilst 83% feared video and voice deepfakes, both higher than the respective global averages of 75% and 74%.

Concern over manipulated social media content was also elevated, with 81% of Singaporeans expressing worry versus 72% globally.

The findings reflect heightened anxiety in Singapore over the rise of generative AI and its potential to facilitate impersonation, misinformation, and identity theft.

Globally, 75% of consumers said they are worried about being deceived by deepfakes, whilst 71% believe AI is making it easier for criminals to steal identities.

Jumio noted that 73% of respondents said they are more likely to trust businesses that use advanced identity verification tools, such as biometrics and AI-driven systems.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
