The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create fake content, known as 'liar's dividend,' is causing confusion and difficulty in distinguishing between real and fake information.

Deepfakes, AI-generated videos and images, are contributing to this problem.

Tech and social media companies are working to develop ways to check and moderate AI-generated content, but progress is slow.

AI is being used for malicious purposes, including scams, deepfake pornography, and misinformation campaigns.

There are concerns about potential misuse of AI technology for drug discovery and infiltrating critical infrastructure software.

Defending against these threats requires a combination of machine learning, user education, regulation, technological solutions, and ethical guidelines.

There is an ongoing debate between advancing AI and implementing regulation.
