For many, deepfakes are a bit of fun. Search YouTube and you’ll find scenes of Batman interacting with Wonder Woman where Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot have been replaced by Adam West and Lynda Carter. Perhaps you’ve giggled at the fake photos of Donald Trump in an orange prison jumpsuit. However, it was no joke for the Hong Kong branch of a multinational company when an employee was tricked into transferring more than $25million following video calls that turned out to be deepfakes.

Deepfakes are generated using machine learning employed in artificial intelligence technology; they can be audio, video, or individual images.
