Are you smarter than a deepfake?
This talk presents a study that examines people’s ability and decision-making processes in detecting deepfakes. Survey respondents viewed a series of deepfake or AI generated/altered videos, images, and audios, mixed alongside a series of real media. Following their viewing of each piece of media, respondents rated their believability of it and provided factors that influenced their decision. The presentation will include a discussion of some of the possible dangers associated with the growing use and ease of creating deepfakes, examples of deepfakes that were used in the survey, and preliminary qualitative and quantitative findings from the study.
