UC Berkeley and USC's Tech Detects Deepfakes of Political Leaders
Researchers at UC Berkeley and USC are creating new techniques to detect deepfakes, hyper-realistic AI-generated videos of people doing or saying things they never did or said.
The technology could be used to help journalists, policy makers, and the public to stay ahead of fake videos of political or economic leaders that could be used for malicious purposes, such as swinging an election, to destabilize a financial market and even incite civil unrest and violence.
