Gen (GEN), through its Avast brand, released the 2026 Safe Tech Report highlighting an "AI confidence trap" in how adults handle deepfakes and personal data.
The study of 13,003 adults in 12 countries found 56% are confident they would instantly spot an AI fake, yet 52% have shared or considered sharing at least one sensitive item with an AI tool. Around 20% have shared or considered sharing a CV and 20% a work document with chatbots, despite the risk that such data can remain in systems and be reused or exposed later. The report also shows many people ignore classic scam red flags and often handle suspicious messages alone, limiting how far scam awareness spreads.
