🚀 Welcome to a Special Deep Dive on AI Unraveled.
We are witnessing the "Death of Reality." A new study reveals that 90% of people can no longer distinguish real video from AI-generated footage. In this episode, we explore the collapsing boundary between truth and simulation, and why your eyes and ears are no longer reliable witnesses.
We break down the Amazon "Project Dawn" leak, where an accidental email exposed 16,000 job cuts, proving how fragile corporate communication has become. We also analyze the $25M Arup fraud, where a finance worker was duped by a video call full of deepfaked executives, and the rise of GoldPickaxe, malware that steals your face to bypass banking security.
Strategic Pillars & Key Topics:
👁️ The Death of Perception
Runway Gen-4.5 Study: Human detection accuracy for AI video has dropped to 57.1%—barely better than a coin flip.
Biometric Bankruptcy: Why your face and voice are no longer secure passwords. Once compromised, they are gone forever.
💥 Corporate Chaos & Fraud
Project Dawn: How a single calendar invite leak at Amazon destabilized a trillion-dollar workforce.
Deepfake Spear Phishing: Attackers are using voice clones of CEOs (like Ferrari's Benedetto Vigna) to bypass corporate security.
🛡️ The Verification Stack
World ID & The Orb: The rise of "Proof of Personhood" hardware to verify distinct human identities.
C2PA Standards: The new "nutrition label" for digital content that cryptographically proves provenance.
The 3A Framework: How to train your "Human Firewall" to spot deviations in process, not just flaws in pixels.

Timestamps:
00:00 – The "Death of Reality": Runway’s shocking new study.
02:15 – Amazon’s "Project Dawn" Leak: A case study in organizational fragility.
08:45 – The $25 Million Video Call: Anatomy of the Arup Deepfake fraud.
14:30 – Biometric Bankruptcy: Why "GoldPickaxe" wants your face.
22:10 – The Solution: World ID, C2PA, and the "Human Firewall."
