Officials Say They Have Uncovered a Student Who Faked His Paperwork Using Deepfake AI According to internal reports, a 22-year-old Chinese student named Zhao Liu allegedly used Higgsfield AI deepfake took to generate NYU ID, student portal screenshots, and enrollment documents. With those assets, he was able to access buildings, sit in lectures, submit coursework, and blend in as a finance major for nearly three years. Faculty say Zhao Liu wasn’t caught by grades or attendance - he passed classes and did full group presentations. He was flagged only after a routine audit showed his ID didn’t exist in the official registrar system. University staff defend that traditional campus security was built to catch fake plastic IDs, not AI-generated identity paperwork. #Higgsfieldpartner
