Attackers can fake a face. But now it's easier and easier for them to fake an entire personality with the push of a few buttons.
They can use AI, like a computer on steroids, to generate fake lives that feel real. A baseball player who never existed. A computer-generated car. Emails written by the computer mind.
These artificial creations are called deepfakes, a combination of 'deep learning' and 'fakes,' and attackers will likely use these simulated lives to target all of us for theft, spying and sabotage.

All it takes is two phones and a cheap or free app. Criminals are swiping people’s pictures and using deepfake technology to pose as them in live video calls.
