Why Deepfakes Matter?
Deepfakes are fake videos or audio recordings created using AI. They can mimic real people—like CEOs, politicians, or police officers—even when those individuals never said or did those things. Unfortunately, criminals are using deepfakes to scam people and businesses. These fakes are so realistic that even trained professionals are being fooled. They're being used in scams, fake investment ads, political misinformation, and identity theft.
Reports indicate that biometric deepfakes, such as faces, fingerprints, or voices, are increasingly being used across Africa. Incidents involving individuals like Patrice Motsepe and companies like Luno are growing at an alarming rate.
The need to understand and train for recognising deepfakes is becoming increasingly necessary as these attacks become more prevalent. Detecting flaws in deepfakes, performing additional verification steps, and investing in protective software are recommended mitigation strategies.
Deepfakes are no longer just a technical curiosity—they're a growing threat.
