As global elections approach and deepfake technology evolves, the risk of misinformation intensifies. Keith Bhatia, CEO of SS8 Networks, underscores this concern: “About 1,500 experts polled by the World Economic Forum in late 2022 view misinformation and disinformation as top global risks over the next two years.”

Deepfakes pose serious threats beyond politics, impacting financial integrity and personal safety. Munish Khetrapal, VP at a leading cybersecurity firm, warns: “By 2026, we anticipate that cyber attackers will breach systems, assess vulnerabilities, and exploit them within an hour.” Addressing these challenges is crucial for safeguarding our digital landscape.
