Deepfakes—AI-generated synthetic media designed to mimic real
people—are rapidly becoming a serious threat to the authenticity of
digital content. As these fabricated videos, audio, and images grow
more convincing, they undermine public trust, fuel misinformation, and
challenge the integrity of both personal and professional interactions.
Industries such as banking, healthcare, law enforcement, and media
are increasingly vulnerable to fraud, identity theft, and reputational
damage due to the rise of deepfake technology. Without reliable
methods to detect and counter deepfakes, the risk to global security,
privacy, and trust in digital interactions continues to escalate.
