Artificial intelligence is fuelling concern as deepfakes emerge and challenge the truth
A U.S. House Intelligence Committee warned of the impact deepfakes may have on American society and democracy in 2019.
At the hearing, California Democrat Adam Schiff showed an artificially-generated clip spoofing Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Lawmakers called on social media platforms and companies to take the threat of deepfakes seriously.
More recently, a democracy-distorting video was posted online showing Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the main contender in the Türkiye election, speaking perfect English.
The deepfake phenomenon is fuelling an arms race between fake content creators and those seeking to moderate it.
