According to the FBI’s latest announcement on their Internet Crime Complaint Center, more and more companies have been reporting people applying to jobs using images, video, and recordings that have been manipulated to look like someone else.
What is a deep fake?
Deepfakes are described by Microsoft as “photos, videos or audio files manipulated by artificial intelligence (AI) in hard-to-detect ways.”
The most common deepfakes – a word that combines computational deep learning and fake – replace the real person in a video with someone else. And they can be used very effectively to make it look like someone, typically a famous person, is saying and doing something they never said or did. Or used as blackmail in a deepfake pornography scheme.
Typically, deepfake videos are created using facial mapping and artificial intelligence to create eerily similar digital mockups of a person to impersonate their identity.
