Beth Hyland thought she had met the love of her life on Tinder. In reality, the Michigan-based administrative assistant had been manipulated by an online scam artist. He had posed as a French man named "Richard", used deepfake video on Skype calls and posted photos of another man to pull off his con. A "deepfake" is manipulated video or audio made using artificial intelligence (AI) to look and sound real. They are often difficult to detect without specialised tools.
