NLJ this week: The law and the AI fraudsters

196791
The terrifying world of deepfakes, ‘cheapfakes’, dating scams, phishing and other artificial intelligence (AI) connivance is the subject of a fascinating article by Dan Wyatt, partner, Chris Whitehouse, senior associate, and Olivia Dhein, knowledge lawyer, RPC (Reynolds Porter Chamberlain), in this week’s NLJ.

Wyatt, Whitehouse and Dhein explore how AI can be used for fraudulent purposes, and how the law can tackle this criminal hall of mirrors. They write: ‘Never has it been easier to generate fake images, video and audio for fraud.’
