deepfakes, AI, disinformation, detection, provenanceAbstract
AI-enabled disinformation has rapidly spread throughout our society. Day by day, deepfakes are being used by adversaries to spread fake news and harm the credibility of political institutions. Inaction only lets the cumulative effect of all the disinformation grow, and potentially collapse order and trust in society. Therefore, the United States should pursue a two-pronged strategy against deepfakes composed of enhancing detection initiatives and implementing content provenance across the internet. This would prevent people from believing in the disinformation spread across the internet as well as fend off adversaries weaponizing deepfakes and targeting the public.
