Artificial Intelligence is a boon in several sectors, making individual work easier. At the same time, it is also risky, as AI can generate fake IDs and other documents. ChatGPT is a widely used AI tool today to create photos and content for websites. It also poses a threat of creating Fake Aadhaar and PAN cards daily.
This blog explains how AI can pose a risk in creating fake Aadhaar cards. It also lists tips on how users can stay safe from fake Aadhaar cards.
Some legal experts say that ChatGPT can create identity cards, but cannot create the actual Aadhaar or PAN numbers. AI cannot present the Aadhaar card numbers in government databases. The cards created by AI look authentic, but cannot pass the official verification process.
Users who use fake ID cards will have to pay the charges of identity fraud and face legal action.
Many scams related to Aadhaar cards occur daily after using AI and ChatGPT. Scammers use a wide range of tools to forge PAN and Aadhaar cards. However, scammers cannot add security features to fake cards.
PAN 2.0 cards contain different security features, such as QR codes, holograms, photographs, and signatures. The latest version of the PAN card also comes with a microchip for extra security.
In addition, the latest Aadhaar cards feature tamper-proof QR codes, guilloche patterns, and holograms. They also contain microtext and the Aadhaar logo to avoid ChatGPT misuse. These anti-fraud features are not available on fake Aadhaar cards and PAN cards.
The cards generated by ChatGPT are fake and do not contain a real number or QR code like real identity cards. Users can easily distinguish between real and fake Aadhaar and PAN cards.
Every Aadhaar card contains a secure QR code. Scanning this code will verify the cardholder's identity. Unlike before, UIDAI has now introduced a new secure QR code that includes demographics and a photo of the Aadhaar number holder. The details of this QR code are secure as they are signed digitally by UIDAI.
The new digitally signed QR code can be read with a custom UIDAI application. The app also validates the QR code against UIDAI digital signatures in real-time. A QR code scanner can easily detect fraud in Aadhaar and PAN cards.
The increased risk of fake Aadhaar cards has raised concerns among users. The cardholders can try the following ways to stay safe from fake Aadhaar cards:
The holders can verify the card details on the official government websites
Companies should make their employees aware of security risks and fake documents
Cardholders can check biometric and OTP-based authentication to reduce fraud.
AI technology poses deepfake risks by making fake identity cards. The cardholders can verify the authenticity of the Aadhaar card on the official website. Following certain useful tips will bring AI regulation and reduce fraudulent activities.
