In this episode we discuss the rising challenge of AI-generated videos, including deepfakes and synthetic clips that can deceive even a skeptical viewer. Once the gold standard of proof, video content is now increasingly manipulated through advanced AI tools like Sora 2 and Google’s Nano Banana, making it harder to separate reality from fiction. Tom and Scott discuss the differences between malicious deepfakes and poorly-made AI-generated content, identify key indicators that reveal a video might be AI-generated, and explain how these videos are used in social engineering attacks. Practical advice is offered on how to protect yourself and your organization from this emerging threat.
