Question 25
IIWhich example most clearly demonstrates a high-risk misuse of deepfake technology in a corporate or societal setting?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A deepfake that shows a public official announcing a fake emergency can cause immediate public harm and panic, making it a high-risk misuse. The study guide says AIGP focuses on deploying AI to “abate risk and ensure safety and trust,” and this example directly undermines both by distributing a deceptive video “without disclosure.”
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Generating synthetic product photos for an internal design brainstorm.
Internal synthetic images for brainstorming stay within low-stakes design use, not public deception.
B. Creating a satirical video clearly labeled as parody for a comedy show.
Clearly labeled parody is disclosed satire, not deceptive impersonation.
C. Producing a realistic video of a public official announcing a fake emergency, then distributing it on social media without disclosure.
The deceptive emergency broadcast creates an immediate, foreseeable public-safety risk because it is a fabricated statement attributed to an official and then amplified to the public without any disclosure, which is exactly the kind of deployment the AIGP materials say must be governed to “abate risk and ensure safety and trust.” Under the exam’s governance framework, this is a high-risk use at the deployment stage because it can trigger panic and operational disruption across a corporate or societal audience, unlike benign synthetic media uses that are clearly labeled or confined to low-stakes contexts.
D. Using generative models to upscale old training videos for employees.
Upscaling training videos is a benign enhancement task, not a misleading public release.
