One of the greatest inventions in human history, the internet has revolutionized the way we all live. That's because internet is more than just a network of computers and devices.
It's a network of human beings.
It's a network of dreams, hopes, aspirations, and potential.
It's a network of creativity, innovation, collaboration, and learning.
It's a network of culture, diversity, expression, and identity.
Every day, millions of people are cat-fished, hacked, spammed, and scammed because identity is easy to fake, hard to prove.
Every day, millions of people are exploited, harassed, or discriminated against because of their identity.
Every day, millions of people are robbed of their privacy, security, and dignity because their digital identity has been compromised.
In fact, over 1 billion people are victims of identity fraud.
With the rise of AI-powered chatbots, image scanners, video generators, voice replicators, and large language models like Chat GPT, the internet is becoming the realm of the machines.
AI-powered deep fakes are proliferating daily, making it ever harder to separate truth from fiction, news from disinformation.
AI-generated content is increasingly difficult to spot, calling the authorship of countless creations into question.
