Deepfake danger: How standards can protect us (#12)

Show notes

In this episode, Tobias Bolzern talks to Mike Mullane from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) about the importance of standards in cyber security and the threat of deepfakes. Mullane explains that standards create global trust and facilitate trade. He also describes the growing threat of deepfakes, which are used for phishing and other attacks. The IEC is working to use existing standards to recognise deepfakes and ensure authenticity, such as the "JPEG Trust" initiative. In conclusion, Mullane emphasises the importance of digital literacy in dealing with new technologies.
