DeepFake Protection For Local Government
What Is A "Deepfake"?
A deepfake is a piece of digital content, usually a video, photo, or audio clip, that has been generated or altered by artificial intelligence to look and sound real, even though it’s fake.
AI tools can now replicate faces, voices, and speech patterns with stunning accuracy.
That means someone could create a “video” of your mayor giving a false statement, a “recording” of your police chief using offensive language all before you know it exists.
These convincing forgeries can:
- Spread misinformation that damages public trust.
- Trigger panic during real emergencies.
- Undermine the credibility of local officials and departments.
- Be used by bad actors to create financial scams or damage reputations.
