Business-To-Business Marketers Are Not Ready For Deepfakes: New Survey
Briefly

While 68% of leaders expressed concern over the potential impersonation of staff and false statements, only 20% reported that their companies stay informed about deepfake technology. The low implementation of safeguards, with just 17% adopting robust social listening and content verification strategies, indicates a troubling mindset where many executives feel their firms are not prominent enough to be targeted by deepfake attacks.
