The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is seeing an increase in reporting where fraudsters are using deepfake technology. The deepfake videos are impersonating politicians, celebrities, and news anchors.
Deepfake videos utilize sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms to manipulate audio and video to make it appear as though the trusted person is promoting fraudulent investment platforms, merchandise or applications. These deepfake videos can be convincing, making it difficult for viewers to identify the video as authentic or not. They often circulate on social media platforms and, in some cases, are being used to commit fraud and spread false information.
