Why Are Deepfakes A Workplace Concern? (Video)

It could be because they’ve increased by over 900% annually.

Or because the cost to create a convincing deepfake has dropped to a few dollars, with voice clones only requiring 3 seconds of audio.

Or because the vast majority of online deepfakes are non-consensual, intimate images of women.

Key liability issues are already taking shape. In a recent case, a captain in the LAPD learned a topless photograph was being widely circulated. 

Although it was of another woman – it was portrayed as an image of the plaintiff, resembled her, and many of her co-workers believed it was her.

The plaintiff did not view the image, but multiple subordinates reported that officers were sharing it and making derogatory sexual comments.
