As AI develops, so does its threat to humanity. A new sort of AI has just been introduced to the world called “DeepFake.” DeepFake is the newly updated version of AI that can create scarily realistic videos, audio, photos, and a text of events that all look completely believable. Although some of these AI forms may just be a harmless joke, others are not. 

Recently new dangers have emerged dealing with Financial and Fraud scams. One of the more intense scams recently was a scammer using an AI generated voice that fully convinced a financial aid company to transfer $25 million dollars.

The most abuse caused using DeepFake recently is nonconsensual, fake explicit content. This form of media has enabled sexual abuse to minors. Because of all of the emotional abuse and reputation harm, it has led to new laws. One being the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act. The U.S. created this so that platforms will be mandated to remove such content within 48 hours. AI has begun to pose serious threats to businesses and everyday people. 

The UK has begun to investigate “Grok” concerns. Grok is a website created by Elon Musk much like any other AI chat box apps accept Grok has made it dangerously easy to use their tools and make completely believable videos. This app has given easy access to the wrong people who have only used it for illegal reasons. Many people have found themselves on this app in places they have never been and outfits they have never worn.

Many countries are trying to find ways to get rid of AI, although it has been almost impossible to take it away some countries have successfully gotten rid of Grok. As of January 2026 Indonesia, Turkey, and Malaysia have blocked and suspended access to Grok due to fake nonconsensual videos surging the internet.
