Deep Fake Video

Have you ever played a prank on someone? Maybe you’ve tried to fool a friend or family member into believing you’re hurt with a bandage and some ketchup on your finger!

Unlike the ketchup finger prank, deep fake technology has serious consequences. These images are harmful because they can spread lies about people, ideas, and events.
