Deepfakes are not only deceiving individuals but also targeting businesses and organizations. Oliver Libby highlights this alarming trend as banks and financial institutions report a surge in deceptive AI-generated calls and emails, posing significant risks to data and infrastructure.

Oliver covers how deepfakes are used to spread misinformation, steal identities, and undermine trust on For Starters. The fragmented information ecosystem and declining trust in credible sources only exacerbate this threat.
