October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and this week’s topic is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deepfakes.
With advancements in AI technology comes the emergence of deepfakes.
What are deepfakes? Deepfakes are AI-generated images, videos, or audio that convincingly imitate real people, often altering their appearance, speech, or actions. Using machine learning algorithms, deepfakes can superimpose a person’s face onto another body or synthesize their voice to create fake, yet seemingly authentic, content.
Here are some tips to remember while interacting with AI and recognizing deepfakes.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Service Desk via the client portal.
