Episode notes
Pre-bunking Deepfakes in Taiwan
- Taiwan pre-bunked deepfake videos by showing how easy it is to create them two years before the 2024 election.
- This built mental antibodies among citizens, making deepfakes during the election largely ineffective.
Verified SMS Numbers for Trust
- Use verified short codes like Taiwan's single trusted number "111" for official SMS to ensure authenticity.
- Create clear classes of message senders to help citizens identify trustworthy information sources.
Crowdsourced Fact-Checking & AI
- Real-time crowdsourced fact-checking maps viral information and integrates pre-bunking and debunking.
- Training language models on fact-checking work enables quick response to new disinformation.
