When false information looks real, every leader carries a new kind of risk.
Right now, a cloned voice can approve a wire transfer. A fabricated video can move a stock price. A false story can race through your market before anyone stops to check it. None of this is years away. It is already happening to companies.
Artificial intelligence made information easy to produce and hard to verify. That combination has turned trust into something close to a luxury.
The Age of Fakes! shows why this matters for business, politics, media, cybersecurity, and society.
Edited by Dr. Nikolai A. Behr, the book gathers leading voices in communication, cybersecurity, law, media studies, and technology. They explain how deception has changed, how AI manipulation works today, and why trust is becoming one of the most valuable things an organization owns.
The focus stays on the real mechanisms behind modern disinformation. Engineered narratives, manipulated perception, cybercrime that often goes unreported, reputation damage, thin regulation, and the growing difficulty of simply knowing what is real.
For decision-makers, the takeaway is plain. Disinformation is not only a media problem anymore. It is a business risk and a leadership responsibility.
Written for executives, communicators, policymakers, and professionals, The Age of Fakes! gives you the context to see the threat clearly and respond with more awareness and resilience.

What makes this powerful is its realism. […] The discussion of underreported cybercrime, jurisdictional limits, and public trust erosion is sobering. This argues for education, resilience, and institutional redesign as the only sustainable response. This is one of the clearest, most grounded explanations of why AI governance must focus on systems and people—not just laws.

The Age of Fakes! is a timely, accessible, and sobering look at how AI abuse, fake news, and disinformation are reshaping economies, politics, and our everyday lives. Editor Nikolai Behr has assembled an impressive lineup of experts who each tackle the problem from a different angle. To my mind, Jim Harris’ chapter on deepfakes and cybercrime is especially useful. […] What makes the book stand out is its blend of vivid case studies, clear explanations, and concrete checklists and most importantly actions leaders can actually use. It doesn’t drift into panic or techno?doom; instead, it argues that with education and critical thinking, we can still tip the balance toward a healthier information ecosystem. This is a valuable read for anyone interested in AI and how it’s shaping our world.

Jim Harris hits the mark by emphasizing that self-regulation is essential in an unregulated digital world. Individuals and corporations must erect their own guardrails against the dangers posed by AI through education, training, and vigilance.
