M ark had just landed after a long flight, tired and ready to rest. He opened his laptop in the hotel room and connected to the WiFi. A page appeared asking for his email to continue, which felt normal. He typed it in without thinking, then it asked for his full name, then his birthday, then a small checkbox agreeing to the terms and conditions, and he didn’t read them because nobody does; he just wanted the internet.

Mira was in a hurry. She snapped a screenshot of her boarding pass at the airport. Later that day, she screenshotted a bank transfer confirmation.

Michael was sitting in a café, scrolling through his phone while waiting for a friend. A message appeared on the screen: “Your account has been locked. Click here to verify.” It looked normal. He didn’t think much about it. He tapped the link, entered his password, and went back to his coffee. A few hours later, he tried to check his email. The password no longer worked. Password reset notifications started appearing, and some of them weren’t sent by him at all. That was the

D o you have a secret code with your family? It might sound like a strange question, but it has become an urgent necessity in the age of artificial intelligence, when you can no longer trust even the voice or face of someone close to you. Recently, at one major company, employees received an urgent video message from their CEO. He appeared on screen, speaking in his usual voice and face, warning about the dangers of “deepfake” technology. The shock? The video itself was fake,
