Emerging threat of AI-Enabled scams.
We are accelerating towards the automated future. But this new future brings new risks. It is no surprise that after years of development and recent breakthroughs, artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming businesses, consumer electronics, and the national security landscape. But like all digital technologies, AI can fail and be left vulnerable to hacking. The ability to hack AI and the technology industry’s lack of effort to secure it is thought by experts to be the biggest unaddressed technology issue of our time
Detecting a deepfake is challenging, especially as the technology becomes more advanced. There are, however, subtle signs that can indicate a video may not be genuine. These include inconsistencies in lighting, unnatural eye movements, or issues with the video’s audio sync. Awareness and skepticism are vital, especially when dealing with content that seems unusual or unexpected.
With the plethora of data on the internet, we are about to witness an unprecedented level of identity theft, fraud, and fake news using this technology, and I don't think we as a culture are ready for that.

Deepfakes represent a disturbing new kind of synthetic media that is more accessible and may be exploited to steal identities or propagate falsehoods.
