( Overview )

Every face on the call was fake. $25 million was gone.

A finance employee joined a video call with his CFO and colleagues. He recognised every face and every voice, and he transferred $25 million. Not one person on that call was real.

In Chapter 05 of The Isha Code, Amb. Dr. Isha Farha Quraishy sits down with Rajkumar K.V.M., Wharton Certified AI for Business Strategist, to unpack the fastest-growing threat of the AI era: deepfakes. From cloned voices and fake political calls to insurance fraud and deepfake doctors, this conversation shows how synthetic media is rewriting trust, and what you can do to protect yourself, your family and your business.
