But even when told, 70 percent of participants couldn\u2019t distinguish a real video from a fake one.<\/p>\n<p>Participants made the same errors, despite the fact that some of them were familiar with Tom Cruise\u2019s age and his use of social media. Scientists say the only characteristic which correlates with the ability to spot a deepfake is age \u2013 older participants did better at recognising the false video.<\/p>\n<p>The study\u2019s findings show that deepfakes pose a danger to the value of video media. People will start losing trust in online videos, including authentic content, researchers write. Experts have long warned that deepfakes, created with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning methods, may become an extremely powerful tool for individuals who want to spread misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>This is of particular concern in light of a recent study conducted by New York University and France\u2019s Universite Grenoble Alpes, which found that fake news attracted more notice on Facebook than true stories.<\/p>\n<p>Another study showed that 15 percent of participants believed that a deepfake showing former US President Barack Obama calling his successor Donald Trump a \u201cdips**t\u201d was real, despite the fact that the content of the video was deemed \u201chighly improbable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Reports say deepfakes have already been used to extort money, with criminals creating videos of individuals engaged in sexual acts and then threatening to post them online if they are not paid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
