  INTERPOL launches public awareness campaign highlighting risk of AI deepfake scams

  October 20, 2026

  SINGAPORE – INTERPOL has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the growing risk posed by crime that uses AI-generated or AI-altered media to scam members of the public.

Generative AI applications and the large language models that power them are becoming more sophisticated by the day, no longer requiring significant technical skills or investment.
