The discussion, available on YouTube, addresses the growing threat of deepfakes, how VIDA is tackling this challenge, and what businesses and individuals can do to protect themselves.
Understanding Deepfake Crimes
Deepfake crimes involve using AI to create or alter realistic video and audio content, making it difficult to distinguish authenticity. This technology is often used for fraudulent activities, defamation, and spreading false information, posing significant risks to individual privacy and corporate integrity.
Rising Cases and Concerns
The number of deepfake incidents has surged globally, with a 900% annual increase from 2017 to 2019 and global losses exceeding $250 million in 2020. Specific cases, such as the recent incident in Hong Kong where a deepfake voice was used to authorize a large fund transfer, highlight the severe financial threats posed by this technology.
Key Indicators and Preventive Measures
Niki emphasizes the importance of identifying deepfake indicators such as unnatural facial movements, inconsistent lighting, and audio mismatches. Advanced detection technologies like machine learning and digital forensic analysis are crucial for distinguishing between genuine and AI-generated content.
