Overview
Auditory and visual deepfakes are astounding feats of applied artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, they also are serious threats to financial institutions, private and public entities, and the consumers those institutions serve.

This report delves into the three fundamental risks facing financial institutions because of deepfake proliferation—threats against identity verification and authentication, scams that target corporations, and reputational damage—and provides recommendations for how FIs can protect themselves and consumers.
Key questions discussed in this report:
