Synthetic Media

Synthetic media refers to AI-generated or AI-manipulated digital content including deepfakes, artificially generated images, audio, and video that can be difficult to distinguish from authentic material. Organizations must govern synthetic media creation and deployment to mitigate risks like misinformation, fraud, intellectual property violations, and reputational damage in regulated industries. Enterprise compliance frameworks increasingly require disclosure policies, detection mechanisms, and usage guidelines for synthetic media to maintain stakeholder trust and meet evolving regulatory expectations.
