Zac Cohen – Building the Next Generation of Digital Trust

In this episode of The Future of Identity Podcast, I’m joined by Zac Cohen, Chief Product Officer at Trulioo, one of the world's leading identity verification platforms. Having helped scale Trulioo from its earliest startup days into a global leader in identity verification, Zac brings a unique perspective on how trust, fraud prevention, reusable digital identities, and AI are reshaping the future of digital identity.

Our conversation explores how identity verification has evolved beyond simple compliance into a continuous trust problem and why digital IDs, agentic AI, and intelligent risk engines are becoming essential building blocks for the next generation of online experiences.

In this episode we explore:

• Why identity verification is evolving into a broader digital trust problem and how reusable digital identities fit alongside traditional verification methods.
• How enterprises can balance fraud prevention with seamless customer experiences by giving users multiple trusted verification options.
• Why continuous risk monitoring, behavioral intelligence, and lifecycle-based verification are becoming just as important as onboarding.
• How AI agents will transform digital identity and what organizations need to consider when verifying people, businesses, and autonomous agents working together.
• Why global identity ecosystems require intelligent orchestration across countries, regulations, and digital ID schemes to simplify adoption for enterprises.

This episode is essential listening for anyone building identity, fraud, or trust infrastructure. Zac offers thoughtful insights into how enterprises can prepare for a future where reusable IDs, AI agents, and continuous trust all work together to create safer, lower-friction digital experiences.

Thanks for listening, and if you found this conversation valuable, share it with someone else working to shape the future of digital identity.
