Socioeconomic Threats of Deepfakes and the Role of Cyber-Wellness Education in Defense
Due to the limits of science and its steep learning curve, we must rely on the expertise of others to develop our knowledge and skills.26 Toward this end, social media platforms have revolutionized how netizens--users who are actively engaged in online communities--gain knowledge and skills by facilitating the exchange of costless information with the public (for example, followers or influencers). Businesses around the world also use these platforms along with tools based on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to craft synthetic media, hoping to grow revenue by attracting more customers and improving their online experience.28 Generative AI tools can empower cyber threats and have cyberpsychological effects on netizens, allowing malicious actors to craft deepfakes in the form of disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation. Service providers not only must enhance GenAI tools to reduce hallucinations, but they also have a statutory duty to mitigate data-driven biases.
