PRE-LAUNCH: A Deep Dive into DeepFakes across Africa
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Deepfakes, or synthetic media generated through artificial intelligence, are becoming easier to create and more realistic.

There are many apps available for users to create deepfakes, and this has contributed to the rise of deepfakes on the web.

Every few months, a new deepfake is deployed on the internet that looks or sounds more realistic than ever. But with the rise of this new technology comes new possibilities and new concerns.

Deepfake technology can revolutionize the production and consumption of media as we know it, and this can lead to positive as well as negative outcomes.
