AI can create images, audio and video for legitimate purposes like marketing, advertisement campaigns, movie companies or, in the case of schools, video lessons. A deepfake is when AI is used to create fake images, audio or videos for the purpose of deceiving others.
1. Image Deepfakes: Photos of fake people created by AI or photos of real people but showing them doing something they never did.
2. Audio Deepfakes (Voice Cloning): Fake recordings or phone calls using someone’s cloned voice. Attackers can get recordings of people's voices from podcasts or YouTube, then use those recordings to replicate their voice.
3. Video Deepfakes: Fake videos where people's voices and actions are manipulated or recreated. Deepfake videos can be pre-recorded video or live video, such as in an online conference call.

The Conflict Dynamics Profile for Individuals (CDP-I) is an assessment instrument measuring conflict behaviors. It is an excellent resource for increasing self-awareness and improving conflict management skills. The CDP-I is unlike any other assessment tool. It focuses specifically on conflict behaviors rather than on conflict styles. The CDP-I assessment helps individuals understand how they respond to conflict, what triggers can escalate conflict and how to manage conflicts more effectively.
To learn more about the assessment or to participate voluntarily in conflict coaching utilizing the CDP-I assessment, call the Ombuds Office at 720-423-4776.
The Ombuds office will offer five visitors the ability to participate voluntarily in conflict coaching support.
