Identifying Political Deepfakes in Social Media Using AI
Our cause
The cost of creating and distributing deepfakes has plunged sharply during one of the most important political elections in history.
AI-based forgery will grow explosively due to the increased availability of generative AI and associated tools that facilitate manipulating and forging video, audio, images, and text.
