Despite the palpable fears, only a mere 7% of Singaporeans claim to have encountered a deepfake video, audio, or image firsthand.

SINGAPORE: A recent study conducted by Jumio has uncovered a widespread concern among consumers in Singapore regarding the looming threat of deepfake technology.

This pervasive anxiety can be attributed, in part, to the unsettling realization that a significant portion of the population knows someone who has already been ensnared by the deceptive machinations of deepfake technology. Despite the palpable apprehension surrounding the proliferation of deepfake technology, the study also yielded a somewhat surprising revelation: only a mere 7% of Singaporeans claim to have encountered a deepfake video, audio, or image firsthand.

The study also sheds light on the prevailing sentiment of trust towards the government’s efficacy in regulating artificial intelligence technologies, including deepfake algorithms.
