Hallie Jackson introduced MSNBC correspondent Gaddi Schwartz for a segment in which we learn about something called "deep fakes" -- and yeah, it's scary.
"Talk through this viral video you're about to show. It is a jaw-dropper, I think, to a lot of folks," Jackson said.
Schwartz shows a video starts off with a click bait headline. "It's 'watch what Obama says in this video,' but you have to watch it very, very carefully. Take a look."
The Obama video is really something called a deep fake -- a video made with artificial intelligence that's difficult if not impossible to spot, he points out.
"But now experts say more deep fake apps are in the works that will give people the power to take someone's face and put it on someone else's body," Schwartz said.

Deep fakes raise the stakes for the fake news phenomenon in dramatic fashion
Truly TERRIFYING!

(36,269 posts)I've been worried about this for years. Knew it was inevitable. Not much can be done to put this genie back in the bottle.
I wonder how many court cases have been won or lost largely on photographic evidence ? The easier it becomes to fake evidence, the less the confidence in it.
