..why do we suppose an iris scan can't be faked by an AI?

I suspect it's not an especially difficult thing to achieve if you have a big database of iris scans....

Imagine the scene: deep faked irises making bot armies that crypto nerds refuse to acknowledge aren't people.

In fairness, identity is hard, and the idea put forward is ambitious, but the scheme is unlikely to achieve what it purports to. Identity is a social, not biological construct.

In the prison system, for instance, prisoners are often present under assumed names. In some circumstances it is hard for courts to prove who someone is, even if it is nailed on what they did. Some markers (tattoos, scars, etc) help but approaches to identity often miss the innately situational nature of the thing.
