The masterclass
AI-generated content is no longer a future risk. It’s already here, reshaping how reputational threats emerge, spread and escalate.
From deepfake videos to voice cloning and synthetic media, the challenge for communication professionals is no longer if this will impact your organisation – but when.
This interactive workshop is designed for corporate affairs, media and communication professionals who need practical, real-world strategies to respond.
Led by senior reputation and crisis advisor Feyi Akindoyeni, this session brings together expert insight, live demonstration and hands-on scenario exercises to explore:
● How deepfakes are created – and why they’re increasingly convincing
● What effective detection looks like in practice
● How AI-driven threats are changing crisis response expectations
● What strong, modern crisis frameworks need to include
You won’t just hear about it – you’ll work through it.
Through small-group scenarios, you’ll tackle realistic situations such as a CEO voice clone or a fabricated employee video, mapping how your organisation would detect, escalate and respond in real time.
