Each podcast episode discusses the latest news in cybersecurity. One episode questions whether a deepfake version of Tom Hanks is better than the real Tom Hanks. Joining the discussion is podcaster Maria Varmazis. The panel reviews news of an ad shared on social media using an image of the actor's face without his permission. They discuss other celebrities affected by AI scams, including Bruce Willis. Raising awareness of these deepfake ads only increases their visibility. What does this mean for future content creation? Which technology company will create a solution for this issue first?
