BEYOND ILLUSIONS: UNMASKING THE THREAT OF SYNTHETIC MEDIA (DEEPFAKES, VOICE, TEXT AND ID SYNTHESIS) FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
With the rapid advancement of AI technology, synthetic media is becoming an influential mode of content. Its ease of availability has enabled its exploitation by criminals for malicious activities. Currently, synthetic media files possess the ability to deceive human perception, making it challenging to determine their authenticity. As AI continues to evolve, these artificially generated media will become increasingly sophisticated, posing significant challenges for law enforcement agencies in conducting forensic analyses of such content.
In order to assist law enforcement in member countries and enhance collaboration between law enforcement, industry and academia, INTERPOL is exploring and aims to understand the synthetic media landscape, in order to tackle the threats posed by it.
