Deepfakes: A Growing Threat and How to Protect Yourself

Deepfakes are videos or audio recordings manipulated by AI to make someone say or do something they never did. The threat is real, but there are ways to defend yourself.

What is a Deepfake?

A deepfake is created using deep neural networks. The AI learns a person's facial or vocal features from existing data to generate new images or sounds.

How to detect them?

Although the technology is improving, some clues can give away a deepfake:

• Abnormal eye blinking: Either too frequent or non-existent.
• Imperfect lip-syncing: Lip movements do not perfectly match the sound.
• Visual artifacts: Blurriness or distortions may appear on the edges of the face.
• Use our detection tool: TrustAI Shield incorporates cutting-edge technology to analyze video and audio files for manipulation.

The best defense is a critical mind. Always question shocking or surprising content, especially if it comes from unreliable sources.
