Do you know about DeepFakes? They’re trickier than defending your home from the wet bandits!

DeepFakes are manipulated videos, or other digital representations, made by artificial intelligence. The goal is to make fake images and sounds that appear to be real. Misinformers can use this technology to create media that helps support their agenda.

They can be funny and entertaining, but as the technology improves people need to become more thoughtful about what they’re seeing on the screen.

DeepFakes are getting better all the time but focusing on the weaknesses of the software makes it easier to spot when something isn’t real.

Watch our video for tips on how to spot them for yourself.
