What Are Deepfakes?
Deepfakes are synthetic media, usually videos, images, or audio, created using artificial intelligence to convincingly mimic real people. They can make someone appear to say or do something they never actually did.
Which of the following BEST describes what a deepfake is?

Core Practices for Spotting Deepfakes
Protecting yourself against malicious deepfakes requires you to understand how deepfakes are created, how they’re used, and how you can spot the subtle signs of video or audio manipulation. Over the coming pages, we’ll explore these concepts further.
Recognizing Manipulated Videos
Recognizing manipulated videos is a critical part of deepfake awareness. Even the most convincing videos can contain subtle flaws that reveal they’ve been altered. This includes unusual facial movements, mismatched lighting, unnatural speech patterns, or behaviors that seem out of character for the person.
Which of the following is a possible sign that a video may be a deepfake?
Loading...
View Options Again
Perfectly natural facial expressions
Lighting and shadows that match the environment perfectly
Smooth, natural speech with emotional tone
Out-of-sync voice and mouth movements
Question Authenticity
Never take visual or audio content at face value, especially when the stakes are high. Treat unexpected, urgent, or sensitive requests with caution and investigate further before responding.
Verify Identities
Always confirm the person’s identity using known secure communication channels. Call them directly, arrange a face-to-face meeting, or use a previously verified contact method before acting on any request.

Why Deepfake Awareness Matters
Deepfake scams can lead to financial loss, reputational damage, data breaches, and erosion of trust. By staying alert and applying deepfake awareness practices, individuals and organizations can prevent costly mistakes and protect their integrity.

More efficient workflow and reduced security checks
Financial loss, reputational harm, and data compromise
Increased trust in digital communications
Improved AI training data
Eye Movement
Eyes are hard to fake. In real footage, blinks are irregular, gaze shifts, and pupils react to light. Deepfakes miss these cues and may have missing or mechanical blinks, fixed stares, over-bright eyes or static pupils. Take note of the deepfake video below, where the speaker doesn't blink.
Which eye behavior is a strong red flag for a deepfake?
Loading...
View Options Again
Pupils constrict when light increases
No blinking for extended periods
Irregular, natural blinking
Brief glances off-camera
Lip Sync Mismatch
Deepfakes tend to struggle when it comes to lip-syncing. Real speech syncs lip, jaw, and cheek movement with audio. Deepfakes often have a slight lag, wrong mouth shapes, or mouth movement that doesn’t line up.
Which sign suggests a video may be a deepfake?
Loading...
View Options Again
Consistent lighting across the scene
Smooth camera focus
Out-of-sync voice and mouth movements
Natural head movement and facial expressions
Background & Environmental Mismatches
Audio–visual mismatch is a deepfake tell. If the voice sounds studio-clean while the person is outdoors, if echo appears without a source, or clothes ripple with silent wind, something’s off.
What’s the most telling sign that this video is an AI-generated deepfake?
Loading...
View Options Again
The subject’s facial expressions seem rigid or unnatural
The lighting is consistent across the scene
A passing bus briefly blocks the subject
The mouth movements are perfectly in sync with the voice
The Importance of Deepfake Awareness
By recognising manipulation, questioning authenticity, verifying identities, and staying informed, you can reduce the risk of falling victim to deepfake scams. Awareness today means protection tomorrow, for you and your organization.
