Cybersecurity Experts Warn of Growing Threat of Deepfake Technology
In recent years, the term "deepfake" has become increasingly popular in the tech world, with cybersecurity experts warning of its growing threat. Deepfakes are realistic images, audio or video content created with the help of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques that manipulate or replace existing content to create convincing but false media. Deepfake technology can be used for a wide range of purposes, from harmless pranks to malicious activities such as fraud, blackmail, propaganda, or cyberbullying. In this article, we will explore the concept of deepfake, why and how it poses a threat to people, and the pros and cons of deepfake in terms of cybersecurity. Deepfake is a portmanteau of the words "deep learning" and "fake." It is a type of synthetic media that is created using deep learning algorithms, specifically generative adversarial networks (GANs), which learn to generate new data that is similar to existing data.

How We Can Build Trustworthy AI
Science fiction movies like'The Terminator' and'I, Robot' have exhibited what might happen in case artificial intelligence goes rogue. Such dystopian fantasies about AI are widely discussed by experts and researchers in the field of AI as well. Many of these experts believe that super-intelligent AI systems will pose a significant threat to humanity in the near future. And, considering the untold potential of AI, this may soon become a reality. Developers need to understand public concerns over the development of AI systems. There have been many reported instances where developers neglected these warnings and created AI systems that went rogue.
US-targeted IS in Somalia could be a 'significant threat'
MOGADISHU, Somalia – The Islamic State group's growing presence in Somalia could become a "significant threat" if it attracts fighters fleeing collapsing strongholds in Syria and Iraq, experts say, and already it seems to be influencing local al-Shabab extremists to adopt tactics like beheadings. The U.S. military this month carried out its first drone strikes against IS fighters in Somalia, raising questions about the strength of the group that emerged just two years ago. A second strike targeted the fighters on Sunday, with the U.S. saying "some terrorists" were killed. The Islamic State group burst into public view in Somalia late last year as dozens of armed men seized the port town of Qandala in the northern Puntland region, calling it the seat of the "Islamic Caliphate in Somalia." They beheaded a number of civilians, causing more than 20,000 residents to flee, and held the town for weeks until they were forced out by Somali troops, backed by U.S. military advisers.
