What we can confirm

Available reporting and industry analyses support the core claim that deepfake-enabled scams are already causing losses in the billions annually, with multiple recent estimates placing global losses at roughly $1.1B in 2025, $1.56B by 2025 in another compilation, and $3.7B in cumulative recorded losses. The evidence is not from official government statistics, but the direction is consistently supportive across independent reports and media coverage.
