Recently, there has been a clear increase in the number of deepfakes circulating online. Healthcare providers are also increasingly falling victim to these misleading images.
Deepfakes are videos that are manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI). This involves swapping faces or imitating voices, making it appear as if someone is saying or doing something that never actually happened.
Although deepfakes are completely fake, they are often almost indistinguishable from the real thing. This makes this development worrying, especially now that healthcare professionals are also being affected.
