The rampant use of AI these days means celebrities and even content creators have to be extra mindful. You never know when you could be misrepresented by deepfake videos made using your likeness. Fortunately, content platforms like YouTube are actively looking for ways to detect deepfakes.

Generative AI is becoming faster, more realistic and easier to use for creating images and videos. While some people can still easily identify these images and videos, many people can't. Without further ado, here's how to detect AI-generated images with Circle-to-Search and Google Gemini.

Deepfake and artificial intelligence (AI) powered scams have caused financial losses nearing RM4.2 billion globally to date. In the first half of 2025 alone, losses from deepfake fraud reached RM1.92 billion.

With deepfake scam losses expected to only get worse, is it finally time to restrict access to subscription for Generative AI? How?

One of the main reasons why Generative AI is such a game changer is that it enables people to do what they couldn’t do before. People who couldn’t draw or make music can now do that with just a line or two of text, code and even apps can be made in minutes and so forth. Unfortunately, this also applies to hackers and scammers as well, as generative AI is taking Cybersecurity threats to another level. Find out what to do about it here.

Since last year, DeepFake technology has been improving steadily and we are starting to see more videos featuring celebrities in another movie. One fine example is the fan-made Back to the Future video featuring Tom Holland, thanks to the growing interest of the reboot. Now we found another fan-made video of Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne in the movie, Batman Begins.

If you remember about three weeks ago, there was a fan-made video of Back to the Future featuring Robert Downey Jr and Tom Holland as D Emmett Brown and Marty McFly on YouTube. Using Deepfake technology, YouTube user EZRyderX47 reimagined how the classic would look like should the movie ever get rebooted. This has happened twice already; now another YouTuber, stryder HD actually made a fan-made tease trailer concept with Deepfake technology.

If you thought that deepfake videos created with a single photo was bad, wait till you hear about this. A scammer managed to trick an employee into transferring USD$243000 (~RM1022544) by deepfaking their CEO’s voice.
