What happens when anyone can make a convincing fake? In this episode, we get practical about deepfakes: consent, intellectual property, data privacy, misinformation, and what “responsible AI” actually looks like for creators and brands.

We cover:

• When a deepfake is parody vs harm (and why consent matters)

• IP, datasets, training ethics and the open-source grey zone

• Using brand avatars and synthetic spokespeople

• Social media echo chambers, algorithmic amplification and creative responsibility

• Human-in-the-loop workflows: why curation beats first outputs

• The future of AI in marketing and content—beyond the hype
