The battleground in spotting and avoiding deepfake job interview videos is just beginning, which is one reason why I wanted publish this episode. I also saw an article this week discussing AI-generated deepfake videos and their ability to fool even the most sophisticated and vigilant. The show was moderated by Gina Riley for the Intel Alumni group. In addition to deepfake mentions, we also mention fake programs and certifications, as well as scams on LinkedIn.
If you want to listen to the entire episode, you can catch the show’s cast on a panel with Gina Riley as moderator for “Path to Next Series: Avoiding Job Scams.” I’m including the link to the Intel Alumni page here (Path to Next Series Avoiding Job Scams).
Both Jay Jones and Ashley Price-Horton join me in addressing and answering related job scam issues:
* Spoofed career service professionals luring victims outside of LinkedIn.
* Asking critical questions to help spot and avoid job scams.
* Job scraping.
* The difference between vigilance and paranoia
