Agenda

Digital commerce is entering a new era where intelligence must move faster than fraud and operate across the entire customer journey, not just at checkout.

In this opening keynote, Riskified leadership will unveil how AI-driven behavioral intelligence and pre-checkout innovations are transforming fraud management from point-in-time decisions into continuous, autonomous protection. Attendees will see how network-wide intelligence, real-time decisioning, and explainable AI come together to stop fraud earlier, approve more good customers, and deliver measurable business impact, while previewing Riskified’s vision for the future of agentic commerce and enterprise growth.

This Innovation Showcase brings Intelligence in Motion to life through live, guided demos from Riskified Product Managers. Attendees will see how AI-driven decisions operate across the commerce journey, from pre-checkout behavioral intelligence to real-time approvals, policy controls, and post-transaction protection. The session highlights how network intelligence, explainable AI, and adaptive decisioning work together to stop fraud earlier, reduce friction for good customers, and drive measurable business impact.

Fraud is evolving to look like legitimate customer behavior. From device takeovers to social engineering scams, attacks now use real identities, making them difficult to detect with traditional signals alone. In this session, we’ll show how fraud has shifted from isolated transactions to connected behaviors, and why single-merchant detection falls short. Learn how AI and network-level intelligence uncover hidden relationships across identities, devices, and merchants to reduce fraud and abuse while protecting approvals.

In 2025, agentic commerce rewrote the rules of online shopping and, in the process, opened up new discussions regarding risk and liability. Between breakneck AI innovation, consumer Gen AI adoption, and AI-spurred transactions, agentic commerce has definitively entered the chat. But this huge opportunity also poses a critical question: is AI-driven shopping putting merchants at risk? The discussion will examine how agentic commerce is transforming online payments and changing the risk, liability, and conversion playbooks in the process. “

For years, Customer Experience (CX) leaders have been forced into a compromise: offer instant resolution to loyal customers, or implement rigid hurdles to stop the rising tide of refund and return abuse. While AI has scaled customer service efficiency, it has also inadvertently scaled the opportunity for exploitation through GenAI-enhanced tactics like highly persuasive scripts, synthetic identities and voice spoofing. The missing link? Risk-Aware Identity Intelligence.
