AI Deepfakes

Impersonation has been a problem since the dawn of time. We have taken great strides in reducing the risk of one computer impersonating another computer when interacting with a third computer. We can also be pretty confident that the user of a computer is who they say they are and not an imposter. Much of this is done with cryptography -- the same stuff that makes it safe for you to shop and bank online.

However, we don't have a good way to prevent impersonation of humans over things like voice or video calls. The news is littered with cases of employees unintentionally leaking data to a nefarious actor just because they sounded convincing.

With the advent of very advanced speech and video synthesis, it has become much easier for the bad guys to have an AI agent call you and pretend to be your grandkid or your boss and convince you to do things you wouldn't otherwise. If one of your kids studying abroad calls and needs some cash for an emergency, we'd likely all make that happen. But how do you know it's one of your kids?

We need an authentication system that enables you to Confirm that the person on the phone is who you think it is. That's precisely the case that the Confirm app (and other tools) were designed to solve. Download the app, create trusts with the app and the people you, well, trust. From that point on, you can both Confirm that you're not being impersonated -- even over a phone or video call.
