"Earlier this month, a Hong Kong company lost HK$200 million (A$40 million) in
a deepfake scam. An employee transferred funds following a video conference
call with scammers who looked and sounded like senior company officials.

Generative AI tools can create image, video and voice replicas of real people
saying and doing things they never would have done. And these tools are
becoming increasingly easy to access and use.

This can perpetuate intimate image abuse (including things like “revenge porn”)
and disrupt democratic processes. Currently, many jurisdictions are grappling
with how to regulate AI deepfakes.

But if you’ve been a victim of a deepfake scam, can you obtain compensation or
redress for your losses? The legislation hasn’t caught up yet."
