AI And Impersonation
Deepfake
AI-made or AI-edited audio, image, or video that can imitate a real person.
What it means
A deepfake can make it look or sound like someone said or did something they did not really say or do.
Example
A video appears to show a company leader promoting an investment platform.
Warning signs
- The video is used to rush a payment or private decision.
- You cannot verify the request outside the video.
- The request feels unusual for the person shown.
Safer next steps
- Treat video as one signal, not proof by itself.
- Verify through a separate official channel.
- Ask a trusted person to review before acting.
