Detecting deepfake video and audio content can be challenging due to the advanced AI techniques used to create them. Here are seven ways to spot deepfake media:
Pay close attention to the subject’s facial expressions, blinking patterns, or unusual movements that may appear unnatural or out of sync with the audio.
Add this dark fantasy film on your binge list if you are having your friends over.
Analyse the lighting and shadows in the video. Deepfake content may have inconsistencies in lighting that can reveal manipulation.
Check for distorted or blurred edges around the subject’s face, especially near the hairline or the chin, which can indicate digital manipulation.
Deepfakes may introduce variations or inconsistencies in the background or surroundings. Look for strange patterns, reflections, or anomalies.
Look out for audio glitches, background noise, or changes in voice tone that may signal audio manipulation.
