Abstract
Cybersecurity researchers discovered that simple generative AI tools can easily bypass existing security measures designed to protect digital content from misuse in deepfakes, identity theft, and style mimicry. The study highlights the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity and trustworthy AI frameworks to counter these vulnerabilities, as current methods offer no foolproof protection against off-the-shelf generative AI models.
