In this talk, we will discuss a panoramic view of biometrics and digital forensics in the last 10 years and how it needed to evolve from basic computer vision and simple natural language processing techniques to powerful AI-driven methods to deal with the signs of the new age. We will discuss tampering detection and its evolution, fact-checking, authorship analysis, and attacks on biometrics systems to deal with large-scale scenarios.
