"Facebook Moves to Detect and Remove Deepfake Videos"

The social media giant, Facebook, recently announced its plan to ban deepfake videos. Deepfakes are fake videos, photos, and audio recordings that cannot easily be distinguished by humans from authentic ones. Generative adversarial networks are used to develop deepfakes. Monica Bickert, Facebook's vice-president for global policy management, expressed the threat posed by deep fakes to the social media industry and society as a whole. Bickert stated that any video that has been created through the use of AI or machine learning to make it appear authentic would be removed. However, this policy does not apply to content created for the purpose of parody or satire, and videos edited to remove or change the order of words. This article continues to discuss the new policy that will be enforced by Facebook to detect and remove deepfake videos.
