Other key findings from the report include:

• Many respondents (60%) believe they could detect a deepfake if presented with one. 
• 60% believe there should be more government regulation of AI to mitigate the risks presented by deepfakes. 
• More than 70% of respondents report a willingness to spend more time verifying identification if it would lead to improved security.
