Ahead of 2020, Beware the Deepfake

Deepfakes are typically videos that portray something that was never actually said. There is the ability to change and alter what other people have said on video, to something that is not even close to the message they were trying to make. Deepfakes will most likely be featured in the 2020 election. This meaning that things that are said on national television will be adjusted to things that were never actually said by the candidate. This can cause many serious problems, because people can be seen as racist even if that is not what was said at all.

Example of Deepfake that just alters the look of the person, rather than what they are saying.

Deepfakes can even alter the look of someones gender.
