What you'll learn

In this video, we explore deep-fakes—AI-generated images, videos, and audio that fabricate events or statements. Learn how advanced AI creates hyper-realistic fake media, its legitimate uses in entertainment, and its dangers in spreading misinformation, fraud, and eroding trust. Discover risks like political manipulation and identity theft, and spot deep-fakes by watching for unnatural facial expressions, mismatched lip syncing, or glitches. Understand why deep-fakes challenge digital trust and how to navigate this evolving threat critically.
