The surge of AI-powered deepfake technology brings unprecedented challenges across industries, highlighting the crucial role of robust, verifiable data solutions.

AI-powered deepfakes are on the rise

The rise of AI-powered deepfakes has ushered in a new era of digital deception, flooding online platforms with convincingly fabricated images, videos, and audio recordings. This surge in deepfake technology has fueled a dramatic increase in identity fraud cases globally, prompting concerns about cybersecurity and regulatory responses. As governments grapple with the evolving threat landscape, deepfakes remain a significant challenge, with cybersecurity leaders voicing apprehensions about future risks posed by these malicious innovations.

•  Widespread Impact: Deepfakes, driven by advancements in AI models like Midjourney, Google’s Gemini, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, infiltrate various internet platforms, creating convincing fake images, videos, and audio recordings.
•  Escalating Identity Fraud: Globally, deepfake-related identity fraud cases have surged dramatically, with spikes of up to 4,500% in the Philippines, 1,740% in North America, 1,530% in APAC, 780% in Europe, 450% in MEA, and 410% in Latin America (source: Sumsub. See the map below from Statista, which visualizes the global increase in deepfake fraud cases.).
• Potential Expansion: Evolving AI capabilities raise concerns of deepfake fraud extending beyond current avenues, posing new challenges for cybersecurity.
• Regulatory Response: Governments are increasingly implementing stronger regulations to curb potential harm from deepfakes, particularly in activities like identity fraud and non-consensual pornography.
•  Cybersecurity Concerns: A survey at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity in 2023 revealed that 46% of cybersecurity leaders are most concerned about future risks posed by adversarial capabilities, including phishing, malware development, and deepfakes.
