Believe your eyes? Think again! Why you can't afford to ignore deepfakes

Welcome to a world where seeing is no longer believing! Artificial intelligence technology can now create videos of anyone saying or doing anything, and they look completely real. Imagine a fake video of your company’s CEO announcing bad news that crashes your stock price, or a political candidate appearing to make shocking statements right before an election. I will introduce you to the world of deepfakes that affect businesses, elections and daily life. You’ll discover how the technology works, see examples that will make you question everything you watch online and learn practical ways to protect yourself and your organisation. Whether you’re running a company, serving in government, or just trying to stay informed, your ability to spot these fakes will become a valuable skill.
