UNPREPARED FOR THE DEEPFAKE?

Individuals, businesses, and governments are unprepared for the coming wave of deepfake attacks by malicious cyber criminals. For the unaware, "deepfake" refers to artificial intelligence generated false media that pretends to be the authentic version of what it emulates. In English…it is fake pictures, videos, and audio of real people or the creation of fake people in the same mediums. Commanding several of the seven traditional patterns of artificial intelligence, deepfakes use algorithms that mimic voice, mannerisms, facial expressions, body language, and lip movements to look deceptively real; creating audio and video clips of events that never occurred. These images are spread on social media and in the news, as most viewers are totally unaware of the lack of authenticity.
