Detecting deepfakes in a world where even reality is suspect

Original: Detecting deepfakes, in a world where even reality is suspect

As artificial intelligence makes fabricated images, audio and video increasingly convincing, researchers and news organizations are racing to build reliable methods for detecting deepfakes. The challenge has grown beyond spotting individual fakes: audiences now routinely question whether real footage is authentic, eroding trust in genuine media. Detection efforts combine technical tools, watermarking and provenance standards, but experts warn that no method is foolproof as generation technology keeps improving.

Why now: Concerns about AI-generated misinformation and eroding trust in media are growing, making deepfake detection a pressing public topic.
