Internet pranksters have been putting celebrities' heads on other people's bodies for ages, but until recently the results have never been convincing enough to fool anyone into thinking they're real. With the aid of AI, that's now changing, and the term 'deepfake' has been coined for extremely convincing videos, images, or audio clips showing people saying or doing things that they never actually did.
Not all deepfakes are bad - one of the most well-known positive examples is when David Beckham was shown to be speaking nine different languages in a video created by the Malaria Must Die campaign - but deepfake technology has the potential to be incredibly harmful.
We'd like you to brainstorm some potential ideas to combat the harmful use of deepfakes. Explain your thinking and eight of the most detailed submissions can earn $3 each!
