The Rise of AI-generated Deepfakes
AI-generated deepfakes, manipulated reality through edited photos, altered audio, and faked videos, have become increasingly prevalent due to the accessibility of generative artificial intelligence technologies. Deepfakes have real-world impacts, from financial scams to causing stock market fluctuations. Researchers and companies are working on two technological solutions: tagging content to indicate AI generation and developing algorithms to detect synthetic content. However, neither solution is perfect, and regulation is needed to enforce safety standards. Additionally, education and awareness are crucial in helping people recognize and protect themselves from deepfakes.
