Science & Tech Spotlight: Deepfakes
Science & Tech Spotlight: Deepfakes, Report No. GAO-20-379SP, Feb 2020
Deepfakes are powerful tools that can be used for exploitation and disinformation. Deepfakes could influence elections and erode trust but so far have mainly been used for non-consensual pornography. The underlying artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are widely available at low cost, and improvements are making deepfakes harder to detect.
