Imagine the following scenario. A phone rings. An office worker answers it and hears his boss, in a panic, tell him that she forgot to transfer money to the new contractor before she left for the day and needs him to do it. She gives him the wire transfer information, and with the money transferred, the crisis has been averted.<\/p>\n\n\n

The worker sits back in his chair, takes a deep breath, and watches as his boss walks in the door. The voice on the other end of the call was not his boss. In fact, it wasn\u2019t even a human. The voice he heard was that of an audio deepfake, a machine-generated audio sample designed to sound exactly like his boss.<\/p>\n\n\n

Attacks like this using recorded audio have already occurred<\/a>, and conversational audio deepfakes might not be far off.<\/p>\n\n\n

Deepfakes, both audio and video, have been possible only with the development of sophisticated machine learning technologies in recent years. Deepfakes have brought with them a new level of uncertainty around digital media<\/a>. To detect deepfakes, many researchers have turned to analyzing visual artifacts \u2013 minute glitches and inconsistencies \u2013 found in video deepfakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
