Cybersecurity & Travel Experts on AI Deepfake Scams - Indian Express

Calling cybersecurity experts, travel experts, booking platforms, and AI specialists: I’m working on a story for The Indian Express that needs your voice. With AI-generated deepfakes becoming increasingly convincing, travellers may soon find themselves booking trips to destinations that don’t even exist. From hyper-realistic videos to fabricated photos, this new wave of scams could easily dupe people into spending money on fictional holidays, a threat that’s already emerging globally and could soon reach India. This story aims to explore how technology can manipulate trust in travel, what warning signs to look out for, and what measures platforms and travellers can take to stay safe. If you: -Are a cybersecurity expert who can explain how AI scams evolve, -Are a travel expert or platform that has seen frauds or suspicious listings, -Or an AI researcher who can break down the risks and safeguards, I’d like to hear from you.
