In this short talk, the speaker reflects on how the emergence of deepfake technology makes it possible for a remote meeting participant to appear as a completely different person with a different voice, even when video quality is poor or the signal is choppy. Recognizing that such manipulation is feasible triggers a heightened sense of vigilance—what the speaker calls “Spidey senses”—leading them to question the authenticity of what they see and hear. The speaker emphasizes that understanding the realm of possibility and its frequency is essential for educating users, arming sentinel systems, and guiding future AI and technology development, which are still lagging behind the threat.
