How deepfakes are impacting elections

We are nearly about to enter election season in Australia. As you would have now heard us say a million times on this podcast, Australia is due to hold an election on 17 May or before. And that could mean we are about to enter a period of disinformation and misinformation in Australia.  Today, we’re talking about a very specific type of false information - and that is deepfake. More specifically, we want to talk about how deepfakes can impact elections. And in this context, we’re talking about deepfakes that are deceptive and harmful.   This podcast is produced with financial support from Microsoft.
