You're watching the Isaiah factor uncensored Welcome and thank you for joining us for the second half of the factor on sensor. There's plenty more show to go So let's begin here a problem. We're facing across this country and around the world It's a scam using what we call deep fakes artificial intelligence to create images and the likeness of Individuals even mimicking their voices and many people are losing a lot of money because of this Let's get to our guests tonight First of all for the viewer, let's establish what a deep fake is in its simplest terms Sure, so deep fake in simple terms essentially, it's a video that mimics you as an individual meant meaning mimics your Facial expressions your face your tonality your voice Your body language your movements all of that. So that's exactly what a deep fake is And so do we see it like when people create an AI? Video would that be considered a deep fake an AI video of your likeness? But you're doing something that you may not ordinarily be doing Would that be considered a deep fake or something different correct So in the infancy stages of deep fake in the AI error, that's exactly what you would see You would see in a video I know oftentimes they a lot of people would leverage the President and the president would be doing like, you know a funny dance, right? But it looks exactly like you know, the president or a prominent figure. So that's how it started It started being a joke and then now it is segue into something that scammers are starting to leverage on a day-to-day basis In many instances, we can't tell the difference as the layman viewer out there. Now, there's some AI Experts and individuals who spend a lot of time on AI and they can clearly spot it, you know Maybe a six-finger but AI is getting so much better You may not have those simple mistakes in place now an interesting perspective on this deep fake problem is We have people who or companies who are hiring fake people Using deep fake technology and they don't even know it explain that to us, correct? Yes, so right now there's this scenario where? People out of India because that's where we see like the largest concentration of individuals leveraging this So they will be in India They they won't have any credentials, but they'll leverage deep fake to peer as someone totally different With a different tonality may have a British accent may have an American accent And then they will also program the deep fake in a way to respond to the questions The interviewer is asking in next thing, you know, you have one individual You know in the huts of India that all the sudden they have a three hundred thousand dollar job Because they have three jobs that they've locked in leveraging deep fake. So this is happening on a Consistent basis right now. There's a lot of New applications that are fighting against that, right? There's different things that you can do to ensure that it's a it's a real individual behind this screen But again, it's in the infancy stages and right now people are walking away with hundreds of thousands of dollars in multiple jobs Right here in the u.s Is mind-blowing and of course you say well People are asking well, how do they do that? I mean, don't you have to interview the employee where you're saying they may interview via because they work remotely They may interview via zoom or some other stream yard or some other technology out there But they have the technology the deep fake to create a face crowd the voice the conversation with you and the other person on the end the the person who may be doing the hiring is Not even wise to it, correct So for example, I'll give all the viewers a realistic example. I'm behind the screen talking to you right now However with this deep fake technology, I can be a female with a female voice, right? It can be my actual facial blinks in the whole bit But it looks like someone completely different the voice is completely different. You could be talking to me about AI Technology right and I have the expertise but let's just say I would never get hired Because I don't have the credentials per se but if I look like someone else and I pose as someone else I may get the job, right? So that's happening on a consistent basis in Interviews and let's just say this is I'm interviewing for a job just like this this type of back-and-forth Absolutely. Well, we're gonna take a break here and we'll come back talking about deep fakes and how They're affecting us here in this country and around the world and costing Businesses millions of dollars and possibly individuals stay with us here on the factor on censored. We'll be right back six Welcome back to the factor on censored. We're talking about deep fakes and the impact it could have on you now Let's get to this your children and how they could be in danger. Let's get back to our expert and Recently Patrick. I saw a report where there was a senior citizen Smart guy, but up in age and he fell for a young lady. He met on camera via zoom or some other streaming platform and Talked to her had a conversation and his son figured out she had built him or drained him of his entire retirement hundreds of thousands of dollars and then his son realized that the Scammer was actually a guy but using a female Deep fake to communicate because the dad thought I'm talking to her. She's there. I can see her She real I can help her out guide her and it ended up being a deep fake and he lost I think well over a hundred thousand dollars his retirement and and we see many Instances of like of that that type of scam going on where people are left victimized Yeah, you're unfortunately you're gonna see a lot more of that and then you're gonna you're gonna see new ways that people are Victimized and scammed but with the deep fake it allows Individuals to have month-long year-long relationships never meet anyone because we now live in a day and age where technology brings us close together and Then like this gentleman, he fell in love He thought he was talking to a young lady who was in need of help and they had a real Relationship going on. In fact behind the screen behind the curtain if you will it was a man So this is happening on a consistent basis the level of sophistication when it comes to the deep fake technology It's mind-boggling and so folks you have to take care of your loved ones You know be wary of these online relationships if you can't meet with the person face to face then Sending any money doing things like that groceries, whatever. It may be don't do it and Definitely don't liquidate your assets do not liquidate your savings account and or your 401k Just do not do it Or one of the things I wanted to get to Patrick one of our most precious resources out there our children Yeah, and now we have deep fakes that Is impacting them tell us about that Yeah, so folks be very careful what type of pictures you're sharing online first and foremost So deep fake now allows Individuals to take a picture. It could be of a kid. It could be of an adult and You can now match their face with a body and then Unfortunately explicit pictures and videos are being created of Kids, you know in the UK there in the first part of the year. There were 420 incidents like this of Adolescents and frankly, it's sickening to even think about but it's happening in folks What I would say is if your child is under 18 There's certain applications that they just they shouldn't be on And we need to think twice about what we're uploading From a from a child perspective and what we're sharing online And of course it is against the law But it takes time for law enforcement to catch the suspect or those who are responsible the responsible party but in the meantime you and your child will go through a Lifetime of pain and in those pictures may stay out there and it could affect the child Correct is a her entire life Correct, correct. Now the good thing about it is there's Authorities there's legal and law firms that will help Eradicate those pictures once you figure out that. Oh my gosh, my little baby is now online explicitly In addition to that it's going to take time for the authorities to Geomap where those pictures are being uploaded and then Identifying the individual who's responsible for doing it. So yes It's not one of those things where you identify that pictures out there in the of a snap of the finger You you can erase those pictures So there's going to be some pain and agony that you have to put up with and go through Before you can clearly eradicate those pictures in that digital footprint yeah, and if you're going to have to Go after trying to get those pictures removed and get a private firm is gonna take resources as well All right, Patrick Jones always good to see you here likewise on the factor on sensor You brought us some very depressing news, but we need to be aware What's going on out there?
