A bit by @SethVoorheesTV on @SPECNews1ROC featuring our work @DeFakeProject. A project that I've been sweating over for the past four years of my PhD. ✌️
Researchers at RIT are developing a tool to help journalists, and eventually law enforcement, to detect videos that are deepfakes. They may look and sound real, but they’re not. @RITNEWS @SPECNews1ROC specne.ws/puTWBc

States are racing ahead of Congress to regulate deepfakes, with at least 15 enacting laws targeting political ads and other deceptive uses. Lawmakers are creating a framework for how AI is developed, deployed, and maintained in the states. #Deepfakes #Regulation #AI
Taylor Swift and her fans are driving two legislative issues: regulating ticket sellers and AI-generated deepfake media. buff.ly/4c8QiVd

🚨Scam Alert🚨: Beware of a deepfake video featuring Martin Lewis promoting a fake 'Elon Musk investment' in 'Quantum AI'. It's a scam! If you see it, don't engage, report it. Remember, Martin NEVER promotes investments. #ScamAlert #Deepfake #CyberSecurity
WARNING. THIS IS A SCAM BY CRIMINALS TRYING TO STEAL MONEY. PLS SHARE. This is frightening, it's the first deep fake video scam I've seen with me in it. Govt & regulators must step up to stop big tech publishing such dangerous fakes. People'll lose money and it'll ruin lives.

🔊 A recent study has found that adult and inappropriate words are somehow creeping into videos on #YouTubeKids. Today on 3 Things, @khudabukhsh who conducted the study, joins host @shashankbhrgv to talk about why that is happening. Listen: indianexpress.com/audio/3-th…
