Technology alone is not enough to combat deepfakes, we need a concerted effort
We know that a technology concern has become really serious when the leader of the most populated country in the world complains publicly about it. A few days before that, India’s IT minister had warned AI and social media firms that they needed to weed out deep-fakes. The world’s first ‘certified’ deep-fake was probably of an AI professional, Nina Schick, delivering a warning about how “the lines between reality and fiction are becoming blurred." Manipulated or concocted videos are called ‘deep-fakes,’ a term that combines two words—‘deep learning’ and ‘fake’—as coined in 2017 on Reddit. If the second ‘adversarial’ agent identifies the forgery, the forger AI adapts and improves, and the process continues ad infinitum to build ever more sophisticated deep-fakes.
