What is a “deepfake?” And how can I recognize images that have been created with generative AI?
Answer
A deepfake ("deep learning" + "fake") is a highly realistic but AI-generated image, video, or audio of someone doing or saying something they never did or said.
Learn more about deepfakes and how to spot them in the AI and Deepfakes tab of our Misinformation and Fact Checking page. Additionally, check out MIT's Media Literacy in the Age of Deepfakes. It's fascinating, fun, and very detailed.
