We have all seen deepfakes of famous people and leaders but I never really thought about what it could mean for everyday people until recently. A month ago someone tried to create a video of one of my coworkers. It was very scary for everyone involved because we didn't realize how easily people could believe it was real.
This situation made a few of us start looking into deepfakes seriously and trying to understand what can actually be done to deal with them. It made me wonder if something like face recognition could also be useful in finding out if a video has been changed. While looking into this I also found some tools like DeepFace, Reality Defender, Pindrop Pulse and others that are working on identifying AI-generated or altered content. From what I know these tools are mainly used for identifying and checking faces. So now I am a bit confused about what works best.
If anyone here works with this kind of technology or knows more, about it I would really like to learn how this works and what you think is the way to stay ahead as deepfakes become more advanced.
