This crazily realistic video forgery of Obama was generated by a lip-syncing AI

Jaw-dropping tech demo shows off the amazing (and, frankly, worrying) power of artificial neural networks. Regardless of which side of the political aisle you sit on, chances are you've got some strong opinions on "fake news." Whether it's comments taken out of context, or quotes being outright fabricated, fake news is a frustrating byproduct of today's twenty-first century news cycle. Well, we're sorry to tell you that things are about to get much, much worse! At least, that's based on a frankly crazy demonstration of artificial intelligence carried out by computer scientists at the University of Washington.
