How to Spot and Avoid AI-Generated Deepfake Job Scams

Описание: Here's an uncomfortable truth your mind won't want to believe: Job scams will be as prevalent in the next three weeks as they've been all year. We should all anticipate an increase in AI-generated job scams, given how remarkably "goodwill" this season is. Those in the job hunt must navigate this time with shrewdness and high awareness.


But let's be real: All of our minds will want these fake messages to be true. Ron Krebs, CEO of Kidas, is passionate about using AI to make people's lives safer and better.


Here’s what we covered:


Technology has advanced rapidly; simple visual tests, like asking someone to wave their hand in front of their face (the “John Cena test”), are no longer effective against sophisticated AI.


Ron categorizes the threats into three groups: fake videos of public figures, AI bots simulating conversation, and digital masks allow scammers to hide their real identities during video calls.


Ron said while scammers impersonate companies to steal data, some applicants are now using deepfakes to cheat during interviews or infiltrate companies from sanctioned regions.


If you receive an email, verify it by calling or texting the sender, and vice versa.


Scrutinize email addresses and URLs to ensure they match the official company domain.


Be careful about posting real-time location or meeting data, as scammers use this to personalize their attacks.


Legitimate companies rarely text without prior opt-in. Treat unexpected messages as suspicious.


OUR TJSR mantra: “Clarify, verify, and don’t just apply.”
