[Propaganda Turns To Cheap Deepfakes] Pro-China bot accounts on Facebook and Twitter have been discovered distributing computer-generated “deepfake” videos of fake news anchors. It is the first known instance of the technology in “a state- aligned disinformation campaign.” The people and voices in the videos are digital avatars created by a company called Synthesia. The company, which says the fake reports violate its terms of service, provides access to realistic video characters for as little as $30 a month. “One AI character, named George, looks like a veteran business executive with gray hair,” while another, “Helia, wears a hijab.” While the videos found by Twitter are “ham- handed,” the deepfake technology “opens a new chapter in information warfare.” |
