Signal

By Sikho

Only one person in a thousand can correctly tell real images and video from AI-generated fakes, and human accuracy at spotting a deepfake video sits below the level of a coin flip. Voice cloning has crossed the threshold into audio that's functionally indistinguishable from the real thing. Signal is an honest, evidence-based guide to living with that fact — not by becoming paranoid, and not by waiting for detection technology to save you, but by building one repeatable practice: the Discernment Loop. Notice the emotional charge deception is built to produce. Pause before you act on it. Verify through a channel the deception can't reach. Decide, and either proceed, reject, or escalate. Drawing on Sander van der Linden's inoculation research, Mike Caulfield's SIFT method and lateral reading, Daniel Kahneman's System 1/System 2 framework, and real, named cases — including a $25 million corporate deepfake fraud and current FBI elder-fraud data — Signal follows three people putting this practice to the test: a marketing manager who nearly wires $340,000 to a deepfaked CFO, a grandfather who nearly loses his savings to a cloned voice claiming to be his granddaughter, and a mother teaching her son to catch a fabricated video before he forwards it. None of them get smarter or more suspicious. They get practiced. This book teaches you to do the same.
