Can you tell a real person from a fake? As technology improves, Deepfakes are becoming more sophisticated - and more dangerous. Through education and using the right techniques, your business can protect itself from potential harm. By prioritizing enhanced security features, robust controls and employee training, you can build stakeholder confidence and achieve greater resilience. Here you can find more on how to act quickly with an end-to-end deepfake defense👉https://accntu.re/4fkOGZq [I.D.: Half of a woman’s head is visible on the right side of frame one, with a flat eyebrow, a downturned mouth without lipstick, freckled and wrinkled skin, a light jacket, an unadorned ear and a hazel eye with eyeliner. Stylized aquamarine lines map the simple details of her face, forming 2D polygons. Against a light purple background, text explains: How is a deepfake made? It’s like a two-player game. Using technology called Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), one neural network “player” creates fake imagery or audio based on a sample of data. Along the bottom of the screen, a phrase reads: Can you spot ... the differences? The second half of the woman’s head is visible on the left side of frame two. She looks slightly different, with an arched eyebrow, a smiling mouth with more intense lipstick, smoother and less freckled skin, a darker jacket, an earring and a brown eye without eyeliner. Text explains: The other “player” determines whether it’s real, pushing the first to improve and try again. The resulting fakes are getting more sophisticated - and more dangerous. Large purple text concludes: Companies must act fast to reinforce trust.]
