Deepfakes: Detecting Digital Deception
The AI newsletter for the rest of us!


Have you encountered a video recently that didn't quite look or feel right or that you knew couldn't possibly be real? You may have been looking at a deepfake, a process where individuals' images and voices are used to create digital clones that do and say things the real individual never did or said.
In this issue of The AI Intelligence, we take a look at deepfakes, how they can be used as powerful deception tools, and how we might guard against being manipulated by them.
Be sure to check out the tool collection in this week's AI Toolbox for help with your tasks, and I hope you find useful resources and information in the How-To and News sections.
Happy discovery, I’m glad you're here!
