Family password: a shield against deepfakes
- 07 Nov 2023

AI makes it easy to impersonate your relatives. Elaborate scams are coming. One simple way to keep your family safeđ
Imagine: Your daughter calls, asking you to wire money immediately. The voice â her voice â quivers with urgency. But something feels off... đ€
Or your father.
And it's not a call, it's a video.
But wait â is it truly your daughter or your father?
Or just an AI deepfake.
In the coming storm of deepfake technology, voices will be replicated, faces will be mimicked, and our trust could be shattered. đ±
But you have a secret weapon. It's an old spy trick, very simple.
A family password đĄïž
Here's the plan:
- Gather your tribe. Your kin. Your closest allies.
- Choose a word, a phrase, something only this tribe will know. đ€«
- Use it to verify each other in times of doubt.
So take the time, have the conversation LIVE â no texts, no emails. Create that password and protect your circle.
I did it last Sunday, comment if you want to know our secret pass for inspiration đ
