Deepfakes

from Mysteries of Science · host Fun Kids

Can you believe everything you see and hear online? Dan and Michael navigate the fascinating and unsettling world of deepfakes: images, videos, and audio so realistic you might not know they’re fake. With help from tech experts and researchers, they reveal how deepfakes are made, why they’re getting better and harder to spot and challenge you to outsmart the fakes yourself. Along the way, find out how deepfake tech brings movie characters back to life and why we all need to sharpen our digital detective skills for the future.  Test your skills, learn the science behind AI trickery, and discover how to stay savvy in a world where seeing (or hearing) isn’t always believing... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
