How do we tell what’s true and what’s not? In a world where artificial intelligence presents both promises and perils, we find ourselves in a unique position: harnessing the very technology that threatens to undermine truth and authenticity to defend against it. While deepfakes have beneficial uses, they pose significant threats in spreading misinformation. Detection is challenging, but initiatives like content provenance aim to authenticate media from creation. However, the rapid advancement of AI suggests ongoing difficulty in combating deepfakes effectively. This presentation will delve into the methods used to create deepfakes, the challenges in detecting them, and solutions like content provenance for ensuring authenticity. We will also discuss AI's future in combating misinformation, emphasizing the need for advanced detection tools and ethical AI development.
