Amid the craziest news cycle in recent memory, AI-generated deepfakes have yet to become the huge truth catastrophe that experts warned would be coming.
Why it matters: Media outlets and tech platforms have gotten better at spotting and debunking AI misinformation quickly.
Case in point: In the wake of the Trump assassination attempt, many mainstream news outlets and wire services, including Reuters, The AP, Politico, BBC and CNN, quickly posted fact checks debunking the validity of a doctored image that appeared to show Secret Service agents smiling while lifting Trump to his feet on stage after the shooting.
Zoom in: The Biden campaign felt comfortable enough with people’s trust in social media that he posted the announcement of his withdrawal from the presidential race on X, Facebook, Instagram and Threads, before alerting traditional media.
Yes, but: Doctored photos and video can still break through if tech platforms aren’t quick to police them.
Broader conspiracies that have little to do with doctored photos or videos have proven even harder to stop.
What to watch: While AI-generated deep fakes have become easier for news outlets and fact-checkers to debunk in real-time, customized responses to AI chatbots about breaking news are much harder to police.
