Yes, definitely, because now it costs nothing for random people in a random country to impersonate another person in another country. Last year it was harder to scam people. You have to know their local culture; you have to carry a conversation and so on. But nowadays, with a new technology called ‘Gen AI’ or generative AI, it costs practically nothing, anyone can run in their laptop a convincing deepfake of anyone with just three seconds of voice or sound, which means that anything that does not have this kind of digital provenance or verification, or the zero-knowledge proof that I just described, will soon be worth nothing.
