One of the most controversial, and perhaps concerning, developments in AI is the rise of deepfakes. In simple terms, deepfakes are incredibly realistic synthetic media, such audio, video or images, generated by AI. These digital forgeries have become so convincing that telling real from fake is becoming a serious challenge. We look into how
