Detecting Deepfakes with Ryan Ofman

Podcast Archives - Software Engineering Daily

A deepfake is a synthetic media technique that uses deep learning to create or manipulate video, audio, or images to present something that didn’t actually occur. Deepfakes have gained attention in part due to their potential for misuse, such as creating forged videos for political manipulation or spreading misinformation.
