Generative AI has unlocked extraordinary new possibilities, but it has also fueled an unprecedented wave of disinformation, fraud, and identity theft. From hyper-realistic Deepfake videos and cloned voices to AI-powered romance scams and business email fraud, the line between real and fake is becoming increasingly difficult to detect, even for experts in the field.
In this episode, we speak with Paul Liu, Chairperson of the Taiwan Digital Security Development Association (TDSDA), to explore how rapidly Deepfake technology is evolving, why AI-driven scams are becoming more sophisticated, and what individuals, businesses, and governments can do to protect themselves. We also discuss the emerging AI-versus-AI battle that is reshaping cybersecurity, privacy, and the future of digital trust.
