The Age of Fakes! is a timely, accessible, and sobering look at how AI abuse, fake news, and disinformation are reshaping economies, politics, and our everyday lives. Editor Nikolai Behr has assembled an impressive lineup of experts who each tackle the problem from a different angle. To my mind, Jim Harris’ chapter on deepfakes and cybercrime is especially useful. […] This is a valuable read for anyone interested in AI and how it’s shaping our world.

This chapter should be required reading for anyone in risk, compliance, or audit. What makes it exceptional is how clearly it connects deepfakes to enterprise risk—not as a niche cyber issue, but as a systemic threat to financial controls, reputation, and trust. […] If your organization still treats deepfakes as a communications issue rather than a core risk domain, this chapter will change how you think—and how you act.

This intriguing chapter highlights the significant risks associated with AI. But it is more than just a theoretical look at the issues of cybercrime. It is a practical, far-reaching and expansive review that should be mandatory reading for every person as AI permeates every facet of society and business.

What makes this powerful is its realism. Harris acknowledges that regulation will always lag technology, especially across borders. […] This is one of the clearest, most grounded explanations of why AI governance must focus on systems and people—not just laws.

[…] It’s a timely, actionable wake-up call delivered with optimism about how AI can also be used for good.

While many AI books highlight opportunities, this chapter confronts exposure. Harris convincingly argues that integrating AI into legacy processes can be hazardous. True benefits and safeguards come from redesigning from the ground up and embracing cross-functional thinking. For innovation leaders, this chapter offers both caution and inspiration.
