Combatting deepfakes online

It’s concerning to see how innovative artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to create deepfakes that are spreading disingenuous information and explicit images online.

This fake content shows people doing or saying things they never did. Two prominent individuals have recently been targets of deepfake scams. A video featuring Taylor Swift generated by artificial intelligence was used to promote a fraudulent cookware competition, and explicit AI-generated images of her were widely circulated online. Additionally,

How Yoti can help combat digital injection attacks

As use of online verification grows, there inevitably follows increasing temptation for bad actors to develop ways to exploit the process. As a provider of verification services we must show businesses, regulators and governments that we have robust anti-spoofing technology, checks and processes. An emerging but rapidly growing threat for verification services are digital injection attacks.   What are injection attacks? Injection attacks are a form of attack on remote verification services. Direct attacks are the most common attempt to spoof systems. Examples of direct attacks are: Paper image 2D and 3D masks  Screen image Video imagery Direct attacks are
