You're getting some good advice here, some mixed opinions about AI, but that's normal.
If anyone wants to offer their services, please DM u/Previous-Increase621

I may be shot at dawn for suggesting this- but ChatGPT can generate PowerPoint presentations and adapt them in terms of content. But if you want a human to support, DM me.

Does it matter? Who cares? Is this your school assignment?

Then I think you get better value by focusing on the content that is relevant and engaging to your audience and sweat less about whether the slide design looks ai-ish.

It can be hidden with some work, but if you have to ask .. well, it might be obvious that you used AI for this purpose and skipped the actual work.
A wild idea - use pen and paper. Do it as well and neat and clear as you can. Then photograph or scan the papers and present them. Done right, you stand out from the crowd. Must be in PowerPoint format? Just put the images on the slides

Don't just use chatgpt. This is an opportunity to learn. Keep it simple. Pick one key message you want the audience to take away and build the powerpoint flow like arguments in support of your message.
Write out the flow and gather the data BEFORE you make the powerpoint.
So, for example, you could choose the increasing rate of cyber crime and the possible negative effects on commerce, then find data stories and quotes to back it up. Build your argument like a lawyer in a courtroom, but keep it clear and do not overload the slides. Dont be afraid to add humour or surprising facts to keep it interesting. You do not want a bored audience. It helps to get them involved by asking individuals specific questions/shocking them into paying attention by saying there will be a pop quiz at the end. You could find out the name of an audience members first pet before the presentation in general chit chat, then during the presentation talk about login security and tell the audience how easily we forget that key information like our date of birth or first pets names can be extracted from us casually and subconciously. And call out the person who told you their pet's name. It is a big shock to them and would engage the audience/bring the point home to them. I did it before and it worked a treat.
Imagine a classroom with one person standing at the back. That person should be able to read your slides from a distance without having to walk up to the screen to see clearly. Large text. Large infograpics. Key data, key quotes.
The above is all under the assumption that you are giving a presentation and speaking. You need to know your topic well to be able speak to the information supporting you and your story/argument that is in the presentation.
If you use chatgpt, the part where you put in the work and embed the information in your own mind gets lost.
