How a failed job interview reveals a troubling new trend of AI deepfake workers

Good morning!

When I first saw Dawid Moczadło’s video on LinkedIn I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. In it, the cofounder of a data security software company interviews a job candidate and realizes, in real time, that the candidate is using deepfake AI to hide his true appearance. 

Many people use fake backgrounds during interviews to hide, say, messy apartments, but this was different. In the video, as the job candidate moves, his screen starts to glitch, and the edges of his face blur.
