So about two months ago, we caught our first deepfake candidate.

When a candidate is interviewed, there's a video of them.

You get to watch the video.

And one candidate replaced himself with an AI avatar.

So it wasn't actually them.

And it was so realistic that...

We showed it to four different recruiters and they all could not tell that it was an AI avatar, but we caught it.

So yeah, we're also kind of protecting companies from fraudulent candidates who cause a lot of IP damage to the companies as well.

They are, yeah.

There's nefarious economic stuff, like getting the first few paychecks until, you know, they get kicked out.

The laptop signing bonuses, you know, things like that.

At the other end of the spectrum, you have North Korean-sponsored state actors who will find American citizens who will get the jobs for them.

and get the laptop and then install malware onto the laptop and then pass IP or system access to North Korea.

It's not just North Korea, but there's a bunch of North Korean actors.

It's real and it's coming.

I mean, that's the problem with, you know, I'm very passionate, very excited about AI and voice AI specifically.

But I care a lot about doing this responsibly and ethically.

And one of our core values at Ezra is thinking about the impacts of this on society and how do we do this in a responsible way?

And the propensity for abuse of

of not just voice, but video and kind of avatar and imagery for scamming purposes is just through the roof.
