Presented by Daniel Kang
Assistant Professor, Computer Science
AI has revolutionized many fields, but it has also become a powerful tool for deception, enabling deepfakes, sophisticated scams, and cyber-attacks at an unprecedented scale. As synthetic media becomes more realistic, distinguishing truth from manipulation is increasingly difficult, posing serious risks to individuals, businesses, and even democracy itself. This talk will explore the evolving landscape of AI-driven fraud, the latest methods for detecting deception, and the urgent need for robust defenses against the dark side of artificial intelligence.
