"Deep Fake" videos could set people up for ruined reputations, even deplatforming
Ben Collins of NBC News demonstrates the potential “deep
fake” problem where Bill Hader (SNL) impersonates Arnold Schwazenegger, the transition
starting at about 10 seconds into the video and taking six seconds.
I have to say, I would not have noticed the
transition.
Similar tricks have been played with Mark Zuckerberg
and Nancy Pelosi.
This is said to be a national security or homeland
security problem.
Tim Pool has pointed out that it would be possible to
discredit someone by deep-faking their making an overtly racist remark. Social
justice activists might really try to do this.
It’s interesting to wonder if libel and defamation law
already cover this.
