Episode 3: The deepfake / cheapfake dilemma: Unmasking new avenues of fraud

Are you looking to unmask the dark arts of deepfakes and cheapfakes?

Imagine your own voice, perfectly mimicked, with words seemingly into your mouth that you never spoke, or videos you watch that look real but are entirely fabricated. These are the dark arts of deepfakes and cheapfakes, and they have the power to deceive, manipulate, and destroy.

In this episode, we’ll spend some time with Richard Tomsett, a seasoned expert in fraud detection and an applied scientist with extensive knowledge and experience. He’s an expert on how fraudsters use advanced AI and deep learning methods to make the swapping of faces look much more realistic, almost indistinguishable from a real video.

Curious to see if you can tell who is real and who isn’t? Watch this video and join us in a “deepfake spotting challenge”!
