Deepfakes: AI Impersonations Threaten Governments and Businesses

Deepfakes are fake videos and audios made with AI that look and sound real, used to trick people.

They're used to impersonate people, like politicians and CEOs, to steal information or money.

It's easy to create them now, so it's becoming a big problem for security.

There are several possible countermeasures, including new laws, educating people on how to spot fakes, and using AI to catch the fakes.

Cybercriminals are using this technique to extract sensitive secrets, access company servers and even apply for jobs, causing millions in damage and fraud.
