Deepfakes refer to AI-generated content that can convincingly mimic real people, including their voices, images and videos. Criminals are using these techniques to impersonate individuals, often in crisis situations. For instance, they might generate audio clips that sound like a loved one asking for urgent financial assistance or even create real-time video calls that appear to involve company executives or law enforcement officials. The FBI has identified 17 common techniques used by criminals to create these deceptive materials.
