The Isle of Man Cyber Security Centre says deepfakes are becoming increasingly prevalent on the Island.
New government figures show more than 700 suspicious emails were reported to the organisation, along with over 100 scam websites attempting to impersonate Manx businesses.
The CSC warns that AI-generated content featuring high-profile Manx politicians and journalists is on the rise, and is urging residents to be cautious of anything that appears out of the ordinary - no matter how convincing it may seem.
Director Mike Haywood has been speaking with Manx Radio's Christian Jones.
