Marginalized communities, particularly in the Global South, are disproportionately affected by deepfake attacks due to weaker digital infrastructure. Their voices are often excluded from AI policy discussions, despite their lived experience with digital misinformation.
The deepfake attack on the Bombay Stock Exchange is a symptom of a broader systemic issue: the lack of ethical oversight in AI development and the global digital divide.
Indigenous knowledge systems, historical patterns of misinformation, and cross-cultural verification practices offer valuable insights into building more resilient digital ecosystems. Marginalized voices must be included in policy discussions to ensure that solutions are inclusive and effective. By integrating scientific research, artistic and spiritual values, and future modeling, we can create a more equitable and secure digital future.
