The rise in AI-generated content has made it difficult to determine what's real from what's fake. Stay ahead of AI-generated scams and election disinformation.
What is a deepfake?
In the age of social media and viral videos, it's getting harder to trust what we see online. Enter deepfakes: audio, videos or images that look incredibly real, but are actually cleverly manipulated by AI.
Imagine your favorite celebrity starring in a movie they never actually filmed, or a politician giving a speech they never actually delivered. That's the power of deepfakes. Deepfakes are made using existing videos or photos and with the help of AI, can swap faces, change voices, or even make people say or do things they never did.
