As Deepfakes Flourish, Countries Struggle With Response
The gist: Deepfake AI technologies have reached a red alert tipping point. As a result, fine art, entertainment, politics, and advertising, are some of the fields affected by the rise of deepfakes. You may remember these popular examples that created significant media buzz. In response, countries around the world are now planning new regulations to curb abuse.
