Battling deepfakes in East Asia: is seeing really still believing?

In a world where artificial intelligence and "deepfake" technologies become more sophisticated, is seeing really still believing? A recent report by fraud analytic firm Sumsub found a sharp rise in people falling for deepfake scams last year. Cases in the Asia-Pacific alone soared more than 15-fold. China ranks fourth in the region, in terms of prevalence. CNA's East Asia Tonight dives deep into the challenges facing the region.

The Japanese man looks like a "deepfake" to me especially with the strange background. 😅
