In Behind the AI Mask: Protecting Your Business From Deepfakes, technologist and founder of viral platform, Myster Giraffe, Carl Bogan, explains the dangers, benefits, and potential of deepfake technology. He walks you through how to stay ahead of the risks that businesses face from maliciously deployed deepfake technology, showing you exactly how the tech has evolved and the practical steps you need to take to detect deepfakes in real time and catch scammers in the act.
You'll find practical strategies that will save your company time and money and protect against long-lasting reputational harms. You'll also discover early detection strategies that stop incidents before they even begin.
Inside the book:
The future of artificial intelligence and deepfake tech — learn what's coming next in AI innovation
Techniques for embracing AI technology without running afoul of the pitfalls that come along with it
Straightforward and accurate explainers of what exactly deepfakes are, how they're used (both legitimately and maliciously), and how they can harm your company
An essential and timely resource for managers, executives, and business leaders, Behind the AI Mask is a must-read for everyone worried about the reputational and financial risks posed by deepfakes and those looking for tangible, practical ways to mitigate those risks.
CARL BOGAN pioneered viral deepfake technology as creator of Myster Giraffe, generating hundreds of millions of views across social media. With over 20 years in visual effects for Disney, Paramount, Apple, Google, and Sony, he brings a unique perspective to deepfake defense—understanding how these illusions are crafted from the artist’s side, not the IT department. He has taught workshops internationally, including at Cisco, helping organizations see deepfake threats through the eyes of the creators who build them.
