Zoom has partnered with World, a company specializing in human ID verification, to ensure attendees in meetings are human and not AI-generated imposters. The threat of deepfake-enabled fraud is growing fast, with financial losses exceeding $200 million in just the first quarter of last year. In fact, Arup lost $25 million after an employee authorized wire transfers during a video call with the CFO and colleagues - and every person on that call was an AI-generated deepfake. Zoom's open ecosystem approach allows customers to build trust into their workflows based on what matters most for their use case.
