Our reliance on face matching for identity verification is being challenged by the emergence of artificial intelligence and facial morphing technology.

With the increased availability of visual editors and printing devices, attempting to use face morphing for cheating identity verification systems has never been as easy as today.

Facial morphing technology is also being used for malicious purposes, such as creating fraudulent identity documents or impersonating someone online.

Detecting face morphing is challenging as no single method is entirely reliable.

While confirming whether it's a morph or not in a photo is still an evolving challenge, the huge benefit of using forensic devices is that they assist in detecting morphing by indirect signs.

Education on facial morphing detection can help in the development of more effective technology and methods for preventing morphing attacks.
