Deepfakes and the Dangers of AI

AI is getting easier for non-experts to use. Some AI services and apps now feature intuitive user interfaces and drag-and-drop functionality--a far cry from hard-core coding. These innovations put powerful capabilities in the hands of companies, and are contributing to the increase in AI pilots and implementations.1 Humans have a knack for using technology for ill, as well as good. This is certainly true of AI. Using open source AI tools, anyone can make "deepfakes"--highly realistic fake images and videos--with a few mouse clicks.
