What happens when your face, your voice and even your identity can be copied?

In this episode of UNPLUGGED, AI expert Dr. Ahmed Gamal joins Khaldoun Abu Shindi, Hisham El Assaad and Loai Al Fakir to unpack the new world of deepfakes, voice cloning, AI scams, synthetic identities and digital fraud.

If a video call can be fake, a voice note can be cloned and an urgent message from your CEO can be manufactured, what still counts as proof?

The conversation explores how AI is changing trust in business, how easily people and companies can be manipulated, why confidence can make us more vulnerable, and what leaders need to rethink before the technology gets even better.

Because the biggest AI risk may not be the technology itself. It may be how quickly we believe it.
