In this episode of Hiring to Firing, hosts Tracey Diamond and Emily Schifter examine the growing threat of AI deepfakes in the workplace through the lens of The Morning Show. Joined by Lawrence Cameron, Troutman Pepper Locke partner in the firm’s White Collar Litigation + Investigations group, they explore how AI-generated audio, video, and images can create new risks for employers, from fraud and disinformation to harassment, discrimination, and internal investigations. The conversation highlights the challenges employers face in determining what evidence is real, how deepfakes can complicate workplace misconduct investigations, and why companies should stay vigilant as the technology continues to evolve. Tune in for insights on how employers can prepare for deepfake-related incidents, respond appropriately when they arise, and better protect their workplaces in an era where seeing and hearing may no longer be believing.
