Artificial Intelligence: Did you know what “catfishing” means?

In the world of computing and digital age it has a whole lot of new words and abbreviations or what we normally would call as computer language and terminology in a layman’s language. One of that is catfished or catfishing. What does it mean in a layman’s language?

For a while we have heard of the word called phishing. That means a hacker can hack your passwords, etc. by way of hacking what we call as phishing. With the development of artificial intelligence in the world of computing or AI for short in a layman’s language can with the artificial intelligence can recreate your photos and other things like changing the background etc to something appearing real which is totally false and untrue.

For example if you are a 50-year-old man or woman your present image can be made to look and appear like in your 20s including changing of the background etc. This we call as catfished. What does this literally mean to an innocent man or woman who is new to online? This means a man or woman can be easily cheated by this AI for example in dating apps etc. Someone in China or any south eastern country with the help of this technology can hook up a person living in Asia or any other person in any European country or vice versa making them to fall a prey to false information.

As a result of many instances the companies on whose app or website such images have been posted have taken down and traced back to some of these people and got their opinion or the reason for posting such AI created images. There is still lot more to exercise before we will be able to find out all that AI can do.
