"False and misleading health information online and on social media is on the
rise, thanks to rapid developments in deepfake technology and generative
artificial intelligence (AI).

This allows videos, photos and audio of respected health professionals to be
manipulated – for example, to appear as if they are endorsing fake health-care
products, or to solicit sensitive health information from Australians.

So, how do these kinds of health scams work? And what can you do to spot them?"
