The Reality of Deepfake Videos Even Construction Companies Are at Risk of Serious Damage By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT
Even in construction deepfakes are a very real, very costly issue. The result of a fake video or image could be lost income, employees walking off the job or even an indefinite halt to the entire project. Getting out in front of the deepfake as soon as you can is the key to saving not only your company’s reputation but the bottom line. A deepfake can result in reputational concerns over safety, a lack of trust for your company or call into question the integrity of a project. A deepfake creator can attack the budget and cost of a project, the project’s progress, the work timeline or the project’s resources. see VIDEOS page 24
