Artificial intelligence (AI) has given criminals new tactics to commit fraud, particularly through deepfakes. Through text or voice copying, AI can help a scammer in swiftly creating convincing images and communications.
Deepfakes are images, videos, or audio that have been digitally edited and manipulated to imitate someone’s voice or expression using either artificial intelligence (AI).
Deepfake technology analyzes and imitates motions, voice patterns, and facial expressions from pre-existing videos or images using powerful algorithms.
Deepfake most frequently takes the form of face swapping. Using deep learning and artificial intelligence, a new face image substitutes the primary image of the individual.
A lip-syncing deepfake is a digitally altered video in which an individual’s lip movements are convincingly generated by artificial intelligence models to match modified or completely different audio.
A type of deepfake known as “puppet-master” involves manipulating an individual’s facial expressions and transferring their head movements, eye movements, and facial motions to an output video so that they resemble the source individual.
As deepfake technology can be used by cybercriminals to create hoaxes and scams, be cautious.
